Should I reveal the gender to a bff of mine?

I have this BFF is a SAHM and who has been very obsessed with having a baby girl but she had 2 boys instead, and I am one of her boy’s god mother. She told me that if I get pregnant with a baby girl, she would want to be her god mother and buy her a lot beautiful clothes and toys, to fill her void of not being able to have girls. And true enough, I’m currently pregnant with a baby girl. My hubby has reserves on wanting her to be our child’s god mother and he is afraid that she will spoil our girl too much by buying her with a lot of things. We don’t want her to spend money on our girl as her hubby is having financial troubles and he hasn’t been frank with her. How do I let her down gently? Should I reveal the gender to her? Not sure if I should make her my girl’s god mother, given that we know about her hubby’s situation...

Since she is your BFF, I think it’s good to have an open discussion with her. Ultimately she’s gonna find out about your baby gender. You can brush it aside but it’s not going to help if she insists. And if you reject without letting her know why, she might be hurt. Why not talk to her about it and let her know how you actually feel. Appreciate her for being such a BFF and seek her understanding for not buying stuff if she insists to be the god mother of your child. She can shower her love through other means apart from buying stuffs.
