Not want to drive for my niece’s Christening?

it’s my niece’s Christening on 20th Nov. She is the same age as my DD which is 5 months. Thing is - my DD hates the car seat, she can tolerate a short ride (30 min) whilst asleep or if I’m constantly shaking rattles in her face but DH’s family is 3.5/4h away (if there’s no traffic) DD screams in the car, chokes, vomits, chokes on vomit (she has reflux) and then screams some more until she ‘s shaking and sobbing plus we have to stop when she chokes obvs. 20th is also my Birthday. AIBU for not wanting to drive with my DD but instead asking my DH to go? He says he’s not leaving me on my Birthday but I really can’t think of anything worse than sitting in the car for 4 hours whilst DD hysterically cries on my Birthday.

@olympicsrock that’s what I thought and suggested but DH.says we either all go or he will stay. I don’t want to upset him, his brother and their family but equally I don’t want to distress our little one so much. I really don’t care about my birthday that much, I guess I will just have to suck it up and stick to my guns. Send DH and a gift…

@MolliciousIntent that’s exactly why I posted on here. Because I couldn’t decide… family is important!
