Christmas Day drop-off

[Tralalalaaa123]

DSS 14 has just said to DH that he wants to be at ours Christmas Eve and Christmas Day morning. Previously DH and I had agreed we wouldn’t do handovers on Christmas Day as it’s a bit rubbish for everyone having to run their day on someone else’s timetable with lunch times etc.

DSS mum has said she cannot pick up. We also have a 3-year-old DD and are hosting DH parents and mine.

AIBU to really not want DH disappearing for over an hour round trip to drop DSS back? Would be very happy for him to be with us all day, but I really hate Christmas Day being interrupted.

For context DSS wasn’t with us last year but was the year before. Before that has always been with mum (things changed after we had DD).

That's exactly what we do.

Who is the most irritating / hard work of the 3 year old, your mum, his mum, your dad and his dad. I would probably agree as long as he took the most irritating one with him!

This really made me laugh, I was just thinking I would probably keep the toddler and send my mother along.
