My wife's friend invited her/us to a party this weekend. My wife doesn't like going to these things alone so she wants me to come with our 2.5 year old. We'd be arriving between 5 and 6
I'm hesitant because there won't be other kids there and neither of us know the vibe (if there will be drinking, smoking weed, etc).
I know my wife would feel more comfortable but I worry about a few things:
- environment might not be appropriate for our kid.
- he likely won't feel comfortable, he's very shy
- bringing a toddler feels like itd be mood killer?
- selfishly, being on "keep toddler entertained" duty sounds like a nightmare
- time is in the danger zone in terms of crankiness if he doesn't nap well
My wife says I'm overthinking things and that everything will be fine..
