siblings of god-children etiquette stuff

[hatstand]

do you buy them Christmas presents? do you treat them the same as your god-child in the interests of fairness? can't make my mind up. in some ways it depends on how the siblings' god parents handle it but I don't know

I would treat them the same.

This is the first christmas our goddaughter has a sister and we are definitely going to treat her the same as she is still our best friend's daughter IYSWIM. The differentiation is that we bought our gd a charm bracelet for her christening and we mark important occasions with a charm (well, her baby sister being born was the first of these but we intend to keep it up !!).

My brothers Godfather's wife says "If one of us takes on one child in a family - we both take on all of them)

They have about 15 or so actual godchildren and about 36 or so in all

They are the most fantastic godparents (far better than my real ones) - but not because of presents because of attitude.

My Auntie D is the person I ran away to twice, she saw me off to uni, she held me when I lost my babies (miscarrisges/ectopic)

I think you should take on all the children and make life just that bit special for them

I treat sisters of my god-daughter the same as her.

you make me feel mean for even asking! It's what I have always thought and it's what we did last year but I got the impression that the parents were ever so slightly embarrassed cos they hadn't got ours pressies, which was why I asked.

i send my goddaughter a present ,b'day and xmas ,don't send anything to her brother.makes our relationship special,her mom doesn't expect it.

Feel a bit awful now though

ooh hatstand - now that's another matter maybe if they don't buy your children presents - in that case I would think maybe just your godchild. And I mean that in the nicest possible way rather than because they don't buy your children presents, you shouldn't buy the other child one IYSWIM ! Mind you, if you bought the sibling one last year, they might expect it this year !!
