[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How hard is it for two grown ass adults to just talk? “Hey, Christmas is in two weeks, what are your plans with Larla?” Ex and I communicate our plans as we both have our own families and spouses now. It is only difficult if you make it difficult. [/quote]

OP here. I had this exact conversation with DD's dad in early December. He said that he wanted to handle things as we did on Thanksgiving. On Christmas Eve he requested that I drop her off at 9 am, which is not what we did for Thanksgiving. This approach is not working, which is why I posted here. I would like to come up with an arrangement for next year right now so that there are no conversations two weeks before the holiday. I am truly not trying to make this difficult. I'm not out to punish him or make him look bad. [/quote]

I hope you got what was agreed to in writing.

The thing is, different families do different things depending on their circumstances.  There's no one solution and if you're looking for one, you won't find it..  Think about whether you actually do want to shuttle her back and forth, or whether you want to give her the gift of a no-transition Christmas on alternating years and free yourselves up to travel or whatever.
