Wibu to skip this event?

[Midnightpony]

It's on tonight (in less than an hour). It's a work event from a place I worked last year

Reasons to go:
I've been invited and I RSVPd yes
I'll probably enjoy it when I get there
The other guests will be nice

Reasons not to go:
I will be late - DH has a work meeting and I can't go til he's finished (it's in our house so we didn't get a babysitter). His clients were delayed so he started 30mins later than planned
I really cba changing clothes, make up etc
Baby is asleep on me and has been in a funny mood today
I don't know if it's a sit down meal or nibbles and I'd hate to arrive in the middle of the main course / speeches
I haven't seen the other guests in months and it might be awkward

Someone give me either a stern talking to or tell me it's ok not to go .... Why did I say yes??

Do you want to go?

I wouldn't go in that situation. Its a shame but it sounds too stressful to be worth the hassle. Just relax at home. X x

Yes, get your glad rags on and go.

1. you’ve rspv’d yes, so people are expecting you. People may be disappointed you’re not there
2. it’s rude if you cancel at this late stage
3. you have a baby at home. Enjoy the break!!!!!

Skip and relax it's been a long day and its cold outside

No I really don't want to go!

If it was another evening when baby was feeling himself and DH was free so I could have a relaxed preparation then it might be different.

But all of me (except the part that thinks it's bad manners to RSVP yes then not go) says no no no

(I'm a very peripheral guest, I doubt they'll notice if I'm there or not)

If all of you says no, listen to yourself and stay home. Text one of your friends and say your DH is late home and you have no idea whether he will be back in time for you to make it.

If you don't want to go, don't go. Without sounding harsh, I'm sure the other guest will cope with your absence. Stay in the warm and cuddle your DC if that is where you want to be. There's nothing wrong with doing what makes you happy.

I'm staying home

In bed snuggling with baby. Eating biscuits and drinking tea.

Thanks for the input. neither I agree with your points 1&2 (don't want to leave baby today though) but I'm staying in.

DH other client has just arrived 1.5 hours late so I doubt they'll be finished any time soon.

Aaaaahhhhh ........ Relax......

Good choice
