Have you been asked to be a god parent?

I've realised that with all my cousins none of them have asked me to change a nappy, babysit or even really hold their child.
If they christened them I wasn't asked to be a god parent or anything like that.
I have a half sister and she's christening her son and she hasn't asked me either.

It's weird.

I'm godfather to my brother's daughter. I haven't seen her for over 30 years.

@SW-User is there anyway you could make contact?

@Mellowgirl My brother hasn't had any contact for 30 years either. I don't really know the details as I'd moved away.

It's highly over rated. My son has a set of godparents, and they haven't been in my life or his since he was a baby.

No need to feel slighted.

Yes, and I became estranged from the couple that asked.

@Iwillwait that's sad. I'm sorry

@Mellowgirl it happens. I feel bad for the little girl who would e an adult now in her mid to late 20's.

@Mellowgirl I fought for many years to have custody of my own child and it near killed me when he was taken from me years ago. I was asked to be god father to my nieces. My sister is divorced, and I know if anything happened to her, I would be in another long fight for custody with them with their fathers family and I dont have that in me anymore.
Better to go to one of my other brothers i think who dont have children of their own
