I'm really excited since the last company party I attended was 7 years ago and too fancy for my liking. Heard that they decided to have a kid holiday party due to cost. Less people attend, and it's cheaper overall.</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: Jealous of your Christmas party! Sounds like a lot of fun at the Children's musuem </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358186 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:52:26 +0000 snowjewelz 2358186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our party does not include spouse so DH will be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358179 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:49:04 +0000 Alivoo01 2358179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my parents are in town, they will. Otherwise, our friend that babysits him once in awhile will, given she's available. If not, then we won't go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358158 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:44:31 +0000 Bao 2358158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: she's the sister of a previous sitter.

It's black tie on a week night. No thanks. Don't really want in laws to have to watch her all day and all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358133 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:35:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2358133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: whoa!

Yeah, we would normally ask BIL. But it's his birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358127 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:30:20 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2358127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure yet since our party is actually a "winter" party and usually in January- next year it has been pushed to March! So there won't be anything for Christmas or even close. We'll probably ask family to baby-sit, last year we turned it into an overnight in the city which was fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358125 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:30:05 +0000 MaisyMay 2358125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since our company party is normally in January, and normally about 45 minutes from home, we will either arrange to the leave the little girl with a friend for a sleepover, or at Grandma and Grandpa's. In the past I have had my BIL watch her, but SIL is out of country and he's since started a much busier job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358117 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:26:09 +0000 lemondrop 2358117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband, we are going to our parties solo since I need to use my parents for a work meeting early in the month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358115 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:25:31 +0000 Anya 2358115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: nope, it's at a catering hall type place down the street from the office. So we close a few hours early that day, makes it cheaper too I'm sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358110 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:23:38 +0000 regberadaisy 2358110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: best idea, ever!

They have Santa pictures and it's held at the Children's museum with a catered dinner. My work stresses its family focused values which I appreciate. I will say pre-kids this sucked because I never went to it and missed having an adults Christmas party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-watching-lo-for-your-work-holiday-party#post-2358093 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 12:14:12 +0000 regberadaisy 2358093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're having one?</p> <p>We were going to ask my ILs but I don't think with my MILs health it's a smart idea. Going to ask a daycare teacher. </p>
