Why do you all have so many parties ? I had one at my parents and one at my in laws. I don’t think I could handle more anyway..

Many have 6 parties between parents in laws and 4 sets of grandparents. Plus there's usually a work party...

Wow I've never heard of so many parties
Why are the grandparents making their own?
Why can't they just show up as guests to the ones their children are making? (Let me guess, too many kids' parties to go to!!)
Either your parents or grandparents have to stop their party, or it has to be much earlier and shorter.
I only have one family (sibling) near me.
The party started a little after hadlakah (before 6) and we were home by 8:30.
I attended a staff party on my own, (frum female company) and it was so fun! Around 8:30-10:30
OP, you will have to either cut parties or leave earlier, or just decide this is how you like it and mess the kids schedule up for a week, like attending too manysheva brachos

I think this year was extra hard because it was a week straight with no shabbos in between to catch our breath. I feel like I was hit by a truck. Definitely pushed myself beyond my limits and I’m paying the price. We didn’t just have parties nearly every night but I made half of them. Plus dd had to have a fancy trip for Chanukah vacation. It was a lot.
