As usual Christmas parties and 'do's' are fast approaching, I have paid a deposit to go out with the ladies who are my neighbours on sat 7th December and my youngest ds football team Christmas party is the same night and he has to have a parent :( my dh is being bloody awkward and says he doesn't know anyone so doesn't want to go so am having to choose whether to go on the night out or take my lad. I do feel as a parent that I should take him, I have always helped out with football team events but would like to go out too on a night out - FGS what do I do?!!!!!
