I agree with the others. If there was anyway you could go too. A night away in a hotel would be great even if you don't get to go to the company do. Perhaps you could make a couple of days of it and do something either earlier in the day or the next day.

I'm sure you could get someone to look after the children for just one night. Don't make it about the OP, make it about some quality adult time together.
