I (F) haven’t had the best interactions with my partners (M) family, aunts, grandma and sister. I’ve learned to look past it for his sake but I prefer to keep my distance. His cousin and I do get along but we aren’t close. The bridal shower is women only but I’m welcome to take my 5 month old baby with me. The shower is also an hour and 20 minute drive from my place.

We had a get together this past weekend and some of my in-laws once again made unnecessary comments towards my baby. After this interaction I’m thinking of skipping out on the bridal shower. I don’t want to drive more than an hour to hear remarks or have them comparing my baby to another baby in the family.

WIBTA if I skip out on this party?

Edit - I’m nursing atm so it’s preferable I take the baby with me.
