God Mother

Hello mommies! Just curious… May I know if you would allow any of your friends if they want to be your kid’s God Mother? Are there any expectations for being a God Mother to your kid? My friend wants to be my kid’s God Mother but she has never check up on me or my kid during my pregnancy. She even forgot my kid’s special milestones (gender reveal, EDD month etc). I even reminded her on the dates several times. What would you do? 🤔

Traditionally, being a god mother is significant for Chinese. As the god child has responsibility to care for the god parents too, though not as heavily as their own children. So I wouldn’t commit easily. It’s not just a title. It has to be earned.
