My in-laws are not around anymore, but my husband's aunts keep asking me to 'show face' at functions. They have a HUGE family and I find it hard to bring my kids to every one of them. And there are certain things that they do (ie drink alcohol), that I don't like exposing my kids to now (they are 11 and 12). I've done it before only to have my boys ask me why it's okay for them to do it. Is there any way to get out of these situations/functions or should I blatantly tell these folks the truth to my reason not to bring the kids along every time? Pls advise mummies!

They have functions every 2-3 weeks - it gets so taxing me! I've tried the PSLE excuse (works closer to the time of the exam though haha). Hubby does tell me to 'show face for a while'. But that never happens - these events go into the wee hours of the mornings, at times.
