Crisis Averted

[Nebulous]

Ok well my daughter's mom and were about to have a huge meltdown (big fight) about the holidays. My ex said because I had my daughter last year for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, that she gets her on both holidays this year. Well, last year she didn't put up much of a fight regarding the holidays, which is why I got her both days. Now this year she says that she gets her both. I never agreed to that and I don't care what happened last year. I said that she can have her one holiday and I get her the other. Sounds fair to me... Sounds fair to my daughter. My daughter wants to be with me on Christmas and will probably have more fun with us.



Anyway we had a little mini fight last night when she came over (to pick up our daughter) and told me her plans.

I was about to call her right and blow up on her since Ive been thinking about it all day and have figured out what I want to say to her. THEN I get a text saying You can have her on Christmas Day, just come pick her up at 9am or 10am so we can do presents in the morning over here. <-- works for me because my family usually doesn't get together until the afternoon anyway.

I wonder why she changed her mind.. Feeling guilty?

So the problem solved itself without me having to do anything.

Sounds like she felt guilty and decided to compromise by letting both of you get her for Christmas, which in my opinion, is fair. It's Christmas, both parents should be able to spend some time with their kid(s). Glad everything worked out and she came to her senses, only if problems solved themselves all the time.

Why don't they have their party on christmas eve then? That's what we always do. We go to my mother's family on christmas eve and my dad's family on christmas day.

Maybe your daughter talked to your ex and that made her change her mind. We will never know for sure but I'm so happy this worked itself out. It's very important that your daughters happiness comes first. Again, I happy for everyone involved that the crisis was averted.
