I think choosing Godparents is just a religious formality. Mark's choosing his brother as Godfather to our son, and I'm choosing my sister as Godmother. However, if anything were to happen to Mark and I, custody of our son would not go to my sister or his brother.
However, usually the baby's father chooses the Godfather, and the mother chooses the Godfather. I'm not particularly happy about Mark's brother being my son's Godfather as he and I don't even get along, but that's Mark's decision, not mine. It's just a formality ... Your baby doesn't have to go to who her Godparents are. You can specify that seperately in an official will. ↑ |
| The mother chooses the Godmother I mean! ↑ |
| Well with me and juan and our baby boy. we had a close friend of ours and they are going to be the godparents we just picked one couple out together but in my opinion i dont think it has to be people that are not together!!!! ↑ |
| BRISES - if me and dino were to pass i would want my child to go to their godparents because me and dinos parents have raised there children and we dont want them to have to start all over when they are at that age in there life where they need to relax and have a good time not raising grandchildren. this is why i want a married couple and i want my brother and his wife because my brother is already braylans godfather. i dont want my children to be seperated between two families. ↑ |
You could still have different godparents for your children, but leave custody in case of an accident to your brother.
My godparents were a married couple, and I'm not sure how my parents picked them. I was always very close to them, and they are like another set of parents to me. However, I know this isn't always the case -- my parents are godparents to other people's children and they rarely see each other..... ↑ |
| i am def going to get Olivia Baptized. I think its a lovely thing to do if you are religious but i understand that its not for everyone. However i feel strongly about. As for Godparents Olivia has 2 sets. I couldnt decide. My best friend and my brother are one set and my other best friend and her partner are the other. They all take it very seriously. I don't know if you can define what a role of a God parent really is. My understanding would be that they look out for your child, they attend birthdays etc, they are there for your child in need and you can trust them. Its hard to explain exactly. ↑ |
| My son was baptized a month after he was born. His godparents are my husband's brother and my sister. My daughter we baptize 2 months after she was born and her god parents are my sister and my husband's brother along with his wife. I personally do not think that a godparent has to be a family member. Personally I think if you have multiple brother or sisters choosing a friend might be the better option so that no ones feelings are hurt. For my husband and I it was really easy to decided since we both only have one sibling. And to me I felt that should something happen to me I would have the same people teaching both of my children the same things about GOD and the church rather then each children being taught by someone different. ↑ |
