DS(2.10) has been invited to a party tomorrow. I've said he'll be going as dh normally only works mornings and this is an afternoon party so the idea was he'd be home to be with dd(5.8) who's not invited. Dh informed me the other day that he will infact be working all day as they're launching a new part to their shop, this is a one off(why couldn't it be next week!) so he won't now be home to look after dd.
So my dilema is what do I do? I can't really take dd to the party and certainly wouldn't without the party girls mum's agreement(before the party) but I don't know her well enough to ask if it's ok and would feel quite embarrassed asking. I can't leave ds there alone as he's too young and it wouldn't be fair on him or the other mum.
Do I
a) ask the mum if dd can come(i'd rather not though
b) not go, text in the morning to make an excuse. I wouldn't just not go. Really the little girl who's party it is probably won't worry that ds isn't there and ds doesn't know there's a party so won't worry about not going
I have already explored (c) to try and find someone to have dd but that's a bit tricky as I'm using up my dd babysitting favours to work over half term!!
I have to say i'm leaning toward option b
WWYD?
