I think he should go, but if you don't mind going and don't think his family would be offended if he didn't go, then it might not be worth arguing over.

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


+1. In my experience, co-ed showers are basically a BBQ with beer.

His family = he goes.

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.

Yes. I want to sip champagne with you!

OP here. An almost DCUM agreement. I don't really know SIL well. We had a co-ed baby shower once upon a time and tried to tone down some of the games, so it wouldn't be torture for the guys there. I can't remember if BIL came but it's not the same situation since it was prior to SIL and anyone having kids.
