People without children of their own don't "get it". They think you can just carry on with your pre-baby life and don't understand babies have routines or they just say "get someone to look after them" and expect you to party until 4am when you have to be up 2 or 3 hours later for the baby.

I take my baby and boys out to things like BBQ's at people's houses but it's usually just family and the smokers just smoke outside anyway. I wouldn't take them to a proper "party" where there is a house of drunk people, smoking, loud music etc. You also don't enjoy yourself as you are too busy making sure the baby is safe.
