Our ds is getting christened in June and dh’a best friend was going to be his godfather. The reason I’m not happy about it this though is because he’s seen ds literally twice since he was born four months ago. He and his girlfriend are currently expecting and while I understand that they are probably caught up in getting ready for their new addition and that might be why they aren’t visiting, but I just don’t think he’s shown enough care for my child to be called his godfather. Whenever we talk to him it’s all about his partners pregnancy and what their baby will be like and my baby isn’t even asked about. I’m really happy for them but I feel like I’m getting excited for their baby when they are not even slightly interested in the baby I’ve just had and I don’t want my child to have a godfather who doesn’t know him? When I try to mention my ds in a conversation, I’m just told hypothetical stories about what their baby will be like so there’s just zero interest. I just think with the lack of interest he’s having in my child, he isn’t best suited to being godfather. Please tell me if I am being unreasonable here because I really do feel awful about it.
