If you were invited to a party for one of your college friends and a bunch of your college friends that you haven't seen in a million years were going and you knew this party was going to be awesome because this girl's husband knows how to throw a party because he's loaded, would you go?
What if it was on the evening of your twins' birthday?
Their party is the day before and we'd be doing something with them during the day. Does it make me a terrible mother if I really really want to go?
Ummm...Please Don't Steal My Craziness...Okay? Thanks!
People I Love...follow along if you're so inclined!

Can you wait to leave till after bedtime?
It's a surprise party that starts at 8:00 and is an hour away. I feel like I'm already pushing it interns of how long I can stay awake!!!
They are still very young and the most important thing to the twins is the party that you have for them. Their actual birthday isn't really all that big of a deal. Give the babysitter some cupcakes and some blowing noisemakers and the kids can have a second party with the sitter.
GO TO THE PARTY and blog about all the fun with photos because I live vicariously through people who like to have fun.
....and take a nap later that morning or right after lunch so you have energy for the party. Have the husband take the kids out to the playground to run and have fun. But you have to take a nap so you have energy.
GO TO THE PARTY!
I think you can definitely get away with it at this age since they really don't know when they're birthday is. Sophie only knows because I tell her. So go to the party and have FUN! Consider it a celebration for you honoring that 4 years ago you gave birth to twins!
I'm the odd one and wouldn't go, not just for the birthday, but because if I had not spoken to most of the people there I would just feel out of place.
PAAAARTTTAAAAYY!
A birthday is just a birthday. In that it is just another day. You don't want to raise the children to think that the world revolved around them, right? People have obligations, and you happen to have a friendly obligation that you will attend after a fun fill day with them!
I would go... but after they're asleep.
I'm going through a thing where I really don't want to be away from them during their waking hours...but I work full-time so that's me!
Go to the party!! My husband and I went out on a date on our twins birthday evening. I called it celebrating surviving another year with twins!!! You deserve it!!!!
Go to the party or you'll be regretting it all weekend. Do up the kids' party big, enjoy the day with them, then go out and do your thing! :-)
The evening of their actual birthday following their party day and probably a fun day of activity??? GO - they're going to be tired and you totally deserve the adult time to celebrate another year as a mother of the crazies!
Go! It's a celebration of you surviving four years!
How about if your mom comes down and stays with them?
I hope you went!
My husband's work Christmas party was on my oldest's birthday last year. We still went. :)
