I did the Christmas party. I just can't be bothered to go out with them every other Friday. Or at all. I don't drink. I don't have the money. I have a small child I'd rather spend the time with. I just wish they would take NO for an answer!

There comes a point where you may have to say that any further request is harassing you. Extreme I know, but your feelings seem to make that a valid option.

One of the benefits of hybrid working and especially working from home is that not taking part in work socialising is a lot easier.

Yes it is getting to that stage

I like my workmates but every two weeks would be too much for me so I understand your problem. The only thing is once your DC's older you might fancy a night out so I wouldn't burn your bridges with them, maybe tell them it's a No for now but a couple of years down the line you'll reconsider?

I won't be in the same job I hope - that's years away!
