Is it ok to ask.....

[MamaPingu]

a couple who have been TTC for over a year to be the godparents to DS?
My first thought is ofc it's ok and that they'd be thrilled and that I'm being daft but I just love them a lot and I'd hate it if it made them uncomfortable in any way.

I'd like to think it'd make them happy but not being in that position makes me doubt I know how they're feeling

I think a discreet chat with one of them to ask their opinion and thoughts on the matter in general.

You could say 'please don't Aber straight away, give it some thought and come back to me'.

This way you are sharing your love for them in a respectful manner without too much pressure.

Do they take an interest in your child? Spend time with them?? If so I am sure they would be pleased but if they are emotionally detached might be coping mechanism and difficult for them ?

I am thinking of inviting them for tea over the next few weeks then asking them.

They are close to DS, the man in particular absolutely adores him
He told me my DS was his favourite baby in the family which was very naughty of him but made me so pleased we are wanting him as a godparent
His wife is equally as lovely and they are cherished family members for me in particular

I agree with the please don't answer straight away statement, I think I may ask just as they're about to leave then tell them to talk about it at home and let me know when they've decided
