What is the roles and responsibilities as a god parents? I feel like my best friend is being used. I don't think she should buy diapers for the baby if both parents are doing great. There's more to it then just that.
As a nina myself, I agree that the only things were supposed to do is spend time and love little one. My gdaughters mom has never asked me for money. Occasionally she'll ask me to buy her something that she absolutely needs like for school if she can't afford it herself but it never to pay like an extreme amount. I would because I love her but at the same time thats her mothers responsibility.
See that's not right. I don't think you should expect anything from the godparents.
@baby1004, see it should come from the heart. That's what we were saying. Like there shouldn't be hints or gestures thrown out there. @showersoverflowers exactly what we thought too. Cuz she was bitchy last week and they were working together my friends had to transfer money from savings to the regular account she saw how much she had and was being all kiss ass smh.
My sons godfather is great. We don't ask him for anything just love my son and spend time with him. On his own he will buy my son clothes mainly because he has a shopping problem. every Easter he buys his outfit and and he will randomly text and ask for his clothes and shoe size. We don't expect anything from him tho because he isn't his child he's ours and our responsibility
woof. it sounds like she's just using her for money... nothing godly about that. @junesmommy_15 thank you
@showersoverflowers, exactly thank you. She's taking herself to the extremes. She thinks for the babies first birthday that the godparents should throw the party.
It's cultural and individual. my family believes god parents to have a big responsibility to raise a child to know Jesus. That means spending time with the child outside of normal events, being a great role model, providing love and discipline if they see something happening that shouldn't etc. providing financially isn't exactly something we expect though. That is the parents responsibility
@mrshodges, exactly. The baby has both parents that work and you guys technically had the baby and you guys aren't broke. So buy her diapers she's your responsibility. Smh. It's very disappointing that she is acting that way. My friend has always bought coffee and this chick doesn't even buy her anything back. Very selfish and very self centered
