What should I do?
My brother and his wife is having a christening for their baby and they are only inviting their parents and the godparents. My brother lives out in suffolk and my parent live in brooklyn and dont drive. I offered to drive my parents out to my brothers for the christening. Now they have extended the invite to include me and FH. I dont feel that it is right for me to go since none of my other brothers or sisters are invited. I would attend the church but I dont want to go to the dinner.
What should I do?
and
What would you do?

Re: What should I do?
I would call your brother and explain the situation - that you're driving your parents - and make sure its OK with him that you go to the church (Im sure it is) and leave it at that. If he wants to invite you to the dinner, this is his opportunity to do so.
If he doesn't offer for you to come then you should ask if he can drive your parents home, maybe it will be a wake up call.
How did he expect them to get there in the first place?

I'd go...What else would you do to kill time til they are done? Other siblings should understand that.

Re: What should I do?
He was going to have them ride with with her mother but my father refused (cant stand her) so then he asked them to take LIRR in.
We figured that we would grab a bit to eat and maybe catch a movie to kill time.
I know that my sibs would understand the sitch but I still just dont think it is OK.
My brother wanted to do something at the house so that he could invite the others but she is set against it. she told him that either she has it at this resturant or she is not having it at all (yes big witch).

Well, it sounds like you don't feel comfortable going to the dinner, so I think it would be fine to do the church, then see a movie or whatever. I can't imagine not wanting the baby's uncles and aunts there though.

Ahhh OK. Then I would go to the church and from there do what you said and see a movie or so some holiday shopping - and arrange a time ahead of time to pick up your parents.

I was going to say the same thing. I would be so hurt if my sister didnt include us in the baby's christening.
I guess I would do some shopping just to kill the time.
