Work holiday party vent

[Deleted]

Here's the thing: you absolutely can duck out early if you want to. An after-party is not a requirement, especially if you're exhausted and can't keep drinking. Figure out the nanny problem, go to dinner, and then go home (unless you're actually having fun). No one wants you falling asleep in their drinks.

Why are you the one scrambling when it's your DH who had an event "suddenly come up" while yours has been booked for weeks?

Ditto. Looks like your husband needs to come with a plan so that you can still go to your party.

I agree with PPs. Your H needs to figure this out and you should absolutely duck out a little early!! Stay through the dinner, then a little bit for drinks, and head home.

I hope you find a solution for the nanny issue.

Also I do think you can duck out early. I work in a small office too, there are 4 of us. We all stay out until the owners decide it's time to go home. I think we're all happy to go home after a few hours, it's enough time to relax & enjoy ourselves but it's not to the boring point.

The childcare issue would fall on me too. Sorry for the added stress. Hopefully you have a good time tonight.

Do you allow the nanny to drive the baby? If so, you can have the nanny drive the baby to your location during her normal work hours. Then, you can show-off the baby and leave whenever you wish.

Or ... even better ... have the nanny drop-off the baby with your DH.
