Bit of a WWYD really. DH thinks I’m being OTT, but I’m not sure.
We have two DC (12 and 9). We’ve been invited to a party next weekend, nothing wild, just drinks and a catch-up with friends we haven’t seen in ages. It’s at a house about ten minutes away, and we’d be back by 1am at the latest. DC would be asleep, and we’d obviously make sure they know how to contact us if needed. We have lovely neighbours who’d be in if anything went wrong.
DH says it’s fine, that DSS (12) is responsible, and they’ll just sleep through it anyway. But 9 still seems quite young to be left that late, even if we’re nearby.
Would you do it? Am I being a bit PFB about it, or is DH being too relaxed?
(For context, they’re fine being left for an hour or two in the day, but we’ve never left them this late before.)
TIA!
