Godparents

[No.5]

My kids have 2 each but my siblings and I all have 4 each, so does everyone else in my family.

More people for them to look up to and to guide the children can't hurt

My opinion on selecting Godparents is this, "do what you want and what feels right"

My DD has two female godparents, both aged under 12 years old. (They are actually sisters & DP's own Goddaughters). It felt perfect to choose them to spiritually guide DD through her life.
My DS has one male Godparent, and it is in fact DP's very own Godfather. Again, it felt perfect and natural to choose him.
Our choices have nothing to do with Guardianship.

Thanks everyone. Your answers have really helped.

Sunny love, your answer helped too a lot because I was actually going to ask about just having 2 godmothers or 2 godfathers only.

So four it is if DH agrees. I think he is a bit hesitant because he feels he might upset one of his friends by asking another of his friends but I don't think that will happen and if someone is going to get a bee in their bonnet over it then they are not the type of person I want as a godparent anyway.

DD has two godmothers - DH's sister and one of my sisters. DH and I are godparents to my other sisters daughter (kids are very similar age) so we were sort of sharing it around the family.
