Xmas day morning - AIBU here?

[HennyPenny42]

Staying at my parents’ house for Christmas with dp and dd (3), my sister is also here.
Sat around on Xmas Eve chatting about the order of the day tomorrow. I assume my dd will wake early (6ish) and I’m happy for her to have her stocking when she wakes up. I said ‘oh, she’ll probably have everyone up as she’ll be excited and want to show you all what she’s got’. Just got a groan from df, and pointed silence from dm and dsis said ‘she can show me stuff but I’m not getting up’. So if they have their way it’ll be me and dp getting up with dd to do stocking and them emerging 2/3 hours later.
AIBU to think that this is slightly mean spirited on Christmas Day?
They would never dream of letting us having a lie in by taking dd in the morning normally (obviously wouldn’t want that in Xmas day as I want to be there!) and refuse to get up before 8 when we come to stay, even if we’re up for ages before then. My dp’s mum would be so excited to get up with us and dd on Christmas morning and open her stocking. Am I making a bit deal out of nothing? I just feel a bit disappointed by my family but maybe I need to accept that other people just aren’t going to be as interested/excited about my kid as I would like! What would your Xmas morning routine be with your wider family?

Agree, as do 89% of people who voted.
You can't expect others to be as excited as you about being woken up by your child at 6am.

Tricky one but coming from someone who lives with DM and DP amd 2 DC (3 and 1.5). I would let them sleep a bit or they will be grumpy. Do the stocking and all the 'WOW father christmas has been, Look!' then get her to go and wake them up.
Yesterday my children were up at 7:45 (late night xmas eve) and I still let DM and DP sleep until 9. Then evreyone is happy as its a long day.

Never at 6 am! Ours were always told no way before xxxx - cant remember what that was and I don't know how we managed it when they couldn't tell the time - but we never started stockings until whatever time we felt was OK.

It's 8.30 now they're teens (and we have to wake them up.....😁) but think it was 7.30 or 8 when they were younger.

When I was small I remember we kids all slept on the top floor of a 4 storey house. We woke about 6 and sat on the landing prodding our stockings, but whispering and waiting until we were allowed into our parents room. Think maybe 7 am?

I don't blame your family at all - why would they want their sleep disturbed unnecessarily...???

A friend of mine messaged me on Christmas day to say that he DS had come through at 5.15am but she'd 'managed to get the little fella back to sleep for another hour'. He's 13, almost 14. 😂

We've also managed this somehow with ds1 also! Hoping ds2 follows suit when they start to share a room, he's only a baby at the moment.

We were allowed to get up anytime after 6 and check our stockings. Then we waited until Mom and Dad got up an hour or so later. Breakfast amd then presents. I do the same with my kids although I've been known to be up before them some years.
Some people just aren't morning people no matter what.

Hosting is exhausting, DH and I were shattered, even though we had plenty of help from family. I would have been even more shattered if up at 6am, even more so if I was in my 60s.
