I have been invited to my nieces1st birthday party. But have also been given some tickets for a sporting event of my partners favourite team. Both on the same date. The party starts in the morning and the game starts tea time. I want to keep both parties happy so I have compromised and suggested to turn up to the party earlier than the start time but to leave earlier than the finish time. My family have not said don’t go to the sporting event but deep down I think that they don’t want to me to leave the party early. My partner really wants me to go to the sporting event so I am trying to keep everyone happy. Is my compromise not enough?

I’d do that even if it was my own one year olds birthday party never mind someone else’s.

There's a lot of suggestions and implying and unvoiced thoughts here... Simply have the conversation. They might actually not be that bothered you're leaving early unless they've explicitly said
