This baby shower is for the dad, not the mom. So the mom does not have to go if she doesn’t want to. But, if she does want to go, I think that would be fine too. I would assume that his co-workers would not mind either way if your daughter attends or not. Maybe in this case, the husband should just ask his co-workers if they want her to attend. I’m sure they won’t say no. But, if it’s a matter of her feeling uncomfortable about going, she’s not obligated.
