We are moving to another country this coming Sat. I'm going ahead w the kids and DP will stay behind to ship out stuff, check out of the flat etc, as easier w the kids not around. We are moving to my home country so I'll. e staying w my family until he comes. WE are leaving Sat morning, and plan is for DP to take us to airport and then I fly in my own. Kids are 3 and 1. DP will join us after 9 days.
DP will have his last day at work this Friday. He just texted me and asked if it's okay if he goes out for goodbye drinks this Friday but "won't be home late". I really don't want him to, as im sure I won't be finished w the packing yet, will be b tired and probably emotional about moving, and we won't see each other for 10 days, and the journey on Sat is bound to be exhausting so just want to have a reasonably chilled and nice last evening in our flat. He has more than a week to organise leaving drinks w his colleagues, and there's already been organised one leaving do for him by Other friends who are all in a similar circle next week, that he could justness invite his current colleagues to. Or he could meet w current colleagues another evening next week. I know io would be more convenient for him to have leaving drinks the day he actually finishes, but he works in a very social industry so think people wouldn't mind at all meeting up another day next week, especially if he just say she my wife and kids are travelling next morning and I need to go home and help w the final packing and spend time w them. AIBU?
