AIBU about pick up and drop off

Been separated from my child's dad a year now, he sees DS once a week at the weekend and he picked up in the morning, from me, and I picked up in the evening from him. Very regularly he would make an excuse as to why I need to pick up early, or if on the odd occasion he offered to do both ways, he would find a reason to change his mind. This makes me feel I can never truly make plans on the one day I have. I have now told him I'm fed up of always being messed around and that he now needs to do both pick up and drop off, he only lives 15 minutes away and has one day with him. He is refusing to do both. AIBU?

When he asks to pick up early just say no.

He needs to pick up and drop off; you are doing most of the heavy lifting when it comes to childcare. You shouldn't be doing half his lifts for him too or covering him during his (very small amount) of time with his child.
