Woman calls out 'trophy' GF of husband's boss for behavior at party; 'Kids are around.'

AITA for politely telling my husband&#39;s boss&#39;s &quot;girlfriend&quot; to be a little more discreet at a party? My husband&#39;s boss at the small startup he works at was throwing a huge party for 2023 celebrating a big contract and funding round they landed (despite the recession I suppose).
