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? 🤔

I rarely communicate with my godmother who is my mom's best friend but I never doubt the sincerity she has towards my family and I will drop anything to help her if she ever needs it. but for my own kid, I do want the godparent to actually be present and be prepared to take care of my kid if anything happens to me and my husband. as others have commented, it's not just a title. your friend unfortunately just wants the title but doesn't put in a little bit of effort. definitely not deserving of the title and I'm sure your kid will realise when he or she is older. nothing worse than a "forced" godparent haha.
