to cancel plans tonight

[Schmoop]

I'm supposed to be going out for a meal with two friends tonight. It's the my first night out since DS(nearly 8 months)was born. DS became ill this morning with a temperature and after a visit to the GP has been diagnosed with a virus.
WIBU to cancel tonight, I feel guilty cancelling as I'm supposed to be driving them. It concerns me to leave DS as although he normally sleeps through, this virus could keep him up and he's breastfed so may prefer me to DH for comfort

YANBU. I would rearrange for another time. I wouldn't go out if one of mine were ill and I thought they might need me.

Don't question your judgement here. You are needed at home. Don't go.

I think I'll cancel with them now, then they can arrange if they want to drive themselves. If I did go I'd just be worrying the whole time and it's not like I could leave early if I was driving

Yanbu, cancel because if you go you won't enjoy yourself anyway. He needs you now.

I think you've made the right call. There's no point going if you'll just spend the whole night worrying. If they're good mates they'll understand. They can always get a bus/share a taxi if they decide they both want a drink.

No, I would go. I am sure your DH is quite capable of calling you back if he needs your help.

I'd cancel or change plan to a quick drink out or takeaway at yours if DS likely to sleep.

Could you invite them round instead and maybe all chip in for a take away? But I do agree with Arabella in that your husband needs to learn to cope without you.

YANBU. Apart from him running the chance of being more needy, tonight, you wouldn't be able to relax and you'd run the risk of sharing.

Cancel. They will understand.
