Godparents help!

[Sunflowershan25]

Hello,

wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on this. Me and DH were recently asked to be godparents for two of our close friends DD.

We are struggling now with who to have for our DS godparents, my DH was always going to choose said friend as the godfather, who has just asked him to be for his DD.

I was always going to choose my sister as I couldn’t choose between my friends, however will this now be awkward, as we will be asking my DH’s friend but not his wife?

on another note, I have been thinking of having his wife plus my other best friend, but then my sister will not be one. Thoughts please?

just to note, my sister is not religious but when my niece was born 8 years ago, she did ask her ex best friend and boyfriend to be godmother (never got her christened) She granted is no longer friends with said friend.

Thanks

You pick the person who you believe will be the best godparent to your child. It’s not about politics with friends or family. It’s who will be the most supportive, most present and most effective godparent for your child. Who will be there for them, mentor them, be a potential confidant for your child. Who holds the kind of morals you would want your child to be influenced by. That’s how you decide. People can be butthurt about it if they want but if they are, I’d suggest you made the right choice in NOT choosing them. It should be about the child, not the adults. Pick the one you think will be the best role model and supportive,
present mentor to your child. Think about when your child is a teenager and might not want to talk to parents about something. Who would you rather they were going to for advice?
