[quote=Anonymous]If your SIL didn't participate in supporting the affair, then she might be trying to signal to you that she doesn't blame you or want to exclude you.  In that case, I would send a gift and a note wishing her the best and, perhaps, indicating you would love to see the baby when she gets settled after the birth.

Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to facilitate my child attending SIL's baby shower.  It's the ex's job to facilitate his own family relationships.  If he wants his daughter to go, then he can ask to switch time with you and take her himself or arrange for her to go with another female family member.  This is not your job.

IMO, unless your daughter is 18+ a baby shower isn't really appropriate for kids to attend anyway.

If SIL was a participant in supporting the affair, then I would just reply that neither of you can attend, and leave it at that.

BTW, thank your lucky stars that you are divorced!!! What kind of crazy family goes on double dates with an affair partner?!?  I don't care if you were the worst person in the world and they encouraged divorce, supporting an affair is seriously dysfunctional family behavior.    [/quote]
