[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would feel really uncomfortable attending a party that was clearly planned for your MB rather than for you/DC. As PP suggested, I would tell her that you just realized it's your sister's/close cousin's/whoever's graduation party or something, and that you haven't seen your extended family in a while. Even if she acts like she's hurt I doubt she really is since the party is obviously a social event for her.[/quote]

+1. I'm a MB and would never dream of treating a departing nanny like this. She obviously knows a going away party would be a nice thing to do but now can't be bothered to do it properly and is just adding you to an event that she would normally arrange anyway. It is unfortunate that you might have to lie to get out of it though. Is it too late to say that you feel awkward about the situation since you don't swim and don't know her friends, and would prefer to just have a little tea party at home? If so, then do go the 'little white lie' route, I guess. I don't want to overcomplicate things but what might make it feel easier is if you do actually plan something special with your mother of BF at that time, and you can say that they had already booked it as a surprise but when they heard about the party they had to tell you ...
