Going out with work friends

Here’s my situation-

-I started a new job in July/September.
-This week coming I have been invited for a day out on Tuesday with everyone to have a few drinks and be social all day.
-my OH has said he will babysit for me (used those exact words) as we have a 3yo at home

However I’m torn. I want to be social and get to know the girls in my dept because we only ever see each other at work and we all work super hard so it’s not really a chance for socialising. However I feel guilty leaving the baby at home because he is always getting upset whenever I leave the house without him. So do I...

A) blow them off and spend the day with my munchkin doing something nice.
B) go but fee super guilty

I haven’t had a day/night out in nearly two years and it would be fun. Plus we will all be home by 7.30 as that’s the last train into our station. Our son doesn’t go to bed till 9/10ish anyway so I’d still see him for a couple of hours.

What would other people do?

Remember being a dm doesn't mean you stay home for 18 years!!

I couldn't read this without commenting......'babysitting' Is he kidding??!! Does he tell his mates you're 'babysitting' when he goes out. Doubt it. I despise it when blokes say this like they are doing a massive favour and should be praised for being a parent to their own child.
