All they do is dip them in water; beyond that, it's a social thing with the kids. There have been threads here asking what people remember about their baptisms, and few of us remember very much. For example:
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,599088,599088#msg-599088In the grand scheme of things that stick a kid in the Mormon church, baptism is pretty weak, imo. Missions and brainwashed parents are far stronger, and your daughter only has one brainwashed parent right now. You don't know what will happen with her dad in the years to come.
If it were me, I think I'd go and try to look supportive, knowing I have at least another ten years of influencing ahead of me.
Of course, you feel how you feel about it.
I'd be more concerned about letting those feelings show and unintentionally reinforcing any notions that I'm under the influence of Satan. :)
