Hi all!
Just wondering if I'm being unreasonable. We are having DS Christened in the summer. My DP isn't particularly fussed about having DS Christened, but because it is important to me he is happy for him to be so.
I have quite a big family, as does he, but he's not as close to his family like I am to mine. So, when discussing God Parents I chose 3 people who are very important to me. However, 2 are members of my family and 1 is my best friend. I asked DP if there was anyone he wanted as God Parents because I felt I was choosing everything. He said actually there were 2 people he wanted, and again they were members of my family. I agreed, and we decided to have 5 God Parents.
Now we have just had nothing but criticism and complaints, either for who we've chosen (all my family members and best friend) and how many I have (omg, 5 really?! Is that necessary? Sounds like overkill to me).
AIBU to say actually, it's our son and his special day, so we can 1. choose who we like and 2. have as many God Parents as we like. It's all just so infuriating when all we want is a lovely day for our son!
