My father didn’t show up to my baby shower. He lives two hours away and doesn’t like to drive because he can’t see that well at night and takes strong medication, he was under the impression my brother was going to be driving.

That’s so unfortunate. But your brother should of said something to you so you could of arranged something like a cab or even asking one of your guests to bring you to get him. Just explain the situation to your in laws and boyfriend I’m sure they would be understanding because it’s not your dads fault

@Anna Banana Thank you !! I explain to him that I’m not mad at my father, but that i do feel some type of way about my brother and the way he went about it was very inconsiderate, specially after telling me he was coming 2 days before the baby shower ☹️

It's not right to be mad at your father at all his reasons for not driving are so valid and in the best interests of himself and other road users. The person to be mad at is your brother he should've told you he wasn't coming so that you could have arranged for someone else to go pick your dad up etc or a taxi or a train etc. Personally I would be having it out with my brother to find out what was going on but that's just me. If you want to avoid arguments just talk to him and say hey what happened is everything okay we thought you were coming but you didn't last minute is there anything we can help you out with and he will either tell you what's caused it or feel guilty and apologize

@YazmynJade thank you I actually feel bad for my father because he is now fill with guilt and I know he had all intentions of coming. My brother i can’t get my self to speak to him, he didn’t even bother giving me or my father any explanation just a I’m not coming to my father by text 💔

@YazmynJade made a good point too about also speaking to your brother to find out what happened on his side. But also reassure your dad sometimes parents put so much pressure on themselves trying to be perfect for us when it come to their grandkids. You could see if maybe you and your partner and his parents can do dinner with your dad or even brunch so it’s safe for him to drive you know something cute and intimate 🫶🏾 so they can get to know each other

Reassure you're dad you're not angry at him or disappointed and you completely understand and support why he couldn't get himself over. I agree with @Anna Banana take him out somewhere lovely and do a baby shower meal with you your husband and your dad. I definitely understand why you're angry and upset with your brother but I would try and ask him if all is okay as he probably is going through something and doesn't want to burden you with it xx
