If your husband's brother is having a co-ed baby shower and only one of you can go, who should go?

One of us has to stay behind to watch the kids and since it is out of town getting a sitter isn't an option. DH thinks baby showers are a woman's domain so I should go even though it is co-ed. I say it's his brother and she has brothers (maybe why it is co-ed) so he should be there.

| Him. If he thinks its a woman's domain, he should bring it up to his brother at the shower. |

Has your husband been to a co-ed shower before?
Maybe he is picturing all the stupid shower games he has heard you talk about from showers you have attended and doesn't want to make a hat out of bows! I agree with all that your DH goes but maybe he is balking because he doesn't know what to expect |

| Definitely your husband, unless you and SIL are really close. |

| I'd say the wife. It's still a woman's event. The men sit outside and drink beer. The guys aren't sitting around watching the gift opening. |

Then the husband should go and do this with his brother. More natural. |

| His family, he goes to the co-ed shower unless you and the mother-to-be are super close. |

21:01 here. Of course, you need to decide whether it's less work for you to (1) go to the shower, sip a glass of champagne, and watch the mom-to-be open some presents vs. (2) watch your kids. If it's more work to watch your kids, then go to the shower and spin it as a favor to your husband.
