I hate this new style of parenting where everything revolves around the kids 24/7 365 and you give up everything fun.
Woo, you are always right.
If the children are really going to be there I would politely decline with that being the reason. No one of good conscience could hold that against you as you are behaving as a proper adult should.
With things like this, morality is subjective.
Update:Diana texted Anne and told her that she will not be coming, but Rick, her husband would come, and she would sit home with Chris.WTF!! Just find a babysitter!! Why make things so complicated?
Joe and Anne (Husband and wife) invited myself, my other friend (Bob), and Rick and Diana (Husband and Wife) over for New Years. Myself and Bob always go to Joe and Anne's for New Years. This year, Rick and Diana are coming. I just found out that Rick and Diana are bringing their 2 1/2 year old son (Chris) to New Years. Joe and Anne have an 18 month old (Samantha). Samantha will most likely be in bed by 9:00 or so, but Chris will most likely be up the whole freaking night. Anne warned Diana that its more of an adult-themed party, and there will be cursing, drinking, and probably watching movies that are not too kid friendly. Diana replied, "That is fine, as long as the movies don't have strong violence or strong language and there is not a lot of cursing."Now, the thing is, I 100% do not agree with this. When I go to my friends house, Im pretty much stuck watching cartoons. I am fine with that, but New Years Eve is not a kid friendly "holiday." Why should we all censor ourselves the ONE night of the year, where kids should not be present? Joe asked Rick if they can find a babysitter. He told Rick that our plan was NOT to censor ourselves during the night if we choose not to.The question becomes: who is right and who is wrong?
Kahn N. Singh should weigh in on this. He always knows what to do.
Finding a sitter is hard, especially on that night. I'll say though, that your friend who is hosting should've just said it was not a kid friendly event. It's like a wedding, if they say no kids, you don't bring your kids.
Kahn N. Singh has deep insight into many things. His philosophical views will provide the truth on the matter.

Basile and Goodrum?
Basile seems to like you. Inching ever close to walks on Manly Beach and late night training sessions at his gym.
No thanks. NO HOMO here!The question isn't about kids and babysitters. It is about whether SF should attend being the odd one out. He should go somewhere where he is going to enjoy the occasion.What you! award for having to ask Getbig what to do!
Host is wrong. Because she should just straight up say it's not kid friendly. I been to house parties were adult brings their kid and a sitter and they say in other room. Is that an option?
How long have you been dating Bob?
