Have ever been asked to be a Godparent?

For some inexplicable reason my brother asked me to be a Godparent to his son.
1986, I was a drunk, what would I know about parenting?
I said no and explained my reasons.

Yes. My late wife and I were asked to be godparents of her sister's first child. As it turns out she had severe learning disabilities that have allowed her to be basically functional but unemployable, on disability, and not fully competent to take care of her financial matters. And both her parents died young, so our godparenting responsibilities extended decades longer than originally thought.

No, my friends have smarter sense than that 🤪

Also, I'm literally the youngest of all my siblings and cousins... some of my cousins kids are closer to my age than the cousin...

And my Sister in law has a huge family with tons of people to ask... and my Sister, would probably ask my older brother a lot sooner than me.

Maybe he saw more in you than you do!

No one has ever asked such a thing of me and I would be very surprised if it happens now.

My wife and I are Godparents to a few kids, most of whom are now adults.

I got asked once. I also refused.

I’m godmother to three, now. The youngest just turned 20 in December. It’s a great honor and a special connection, even if you’re never called upon to become the person’s guardian.
