It's a colleague's son's 2nd birthday party today. I like her, there will be lots of other Mummies from work there, and MJ knows most of their kids. However, it's nearly an hour's drive away, I'm tired, DH probably won't come and tbh, as more time goes on, the less I seem to have in common with the Mummy-crew at work. They are lovely people, but they're all having their 2nd and 3rd children while we are out of the baby stage and unlikely to have any more (and the constant reminder of this isn't always easy.) I also often feel like if we didn't have kids and work together, we probably wouldn't have anything in common. We aren't natural suburbanites who talk mortgages, TV and football - there's nothing wrong with those topics of conversation, but I know nothing about any of them so I can't really join in, and that's very much the group that will be there.
But, I really feel like I ought to go, it won't be that bad and MJ will have fun.
Tell me, wise Weaners - should I get a grip and go or should I just chill at home today with DH and MJ and do something nice with the three of us instead?
ETA - sorry, no idea why this is in Toddler Led Eating but I can't work out how to move it!
