Hi girls

My husband is Greek, but I'm not. I am godmother for a beautiful little girl which we christened and I wouldnt change that for the world. However....

I need some advice.

I did not attend the wedding for her parents, (our relationship was in the early days some years ago, so I didnt attend), and my husband was the best man. I therefore feel that i am godmother by default.

During the ceremony I was not included and basically get the impression that the godmother is not as important as the godfather. Is this true???

Now, my husbands sister is christening her baby boy and their best man turned down christening him, and another friend turned them down, and now they have asked my husband to christen him. I feel as though he has only been asked because we are a financially viable option, no-one else can afford it, so we have been called upon. She hasnt even asked me!! It only reinforces my belief that as the woman, or godmother, i am not important, however, it is acceptable for me to put my hand in my pocket again, and fork out for another christening; the last one cost us over a grand.

Am i unreasonable? Is this 'the way'?? I am accepted into my husbands family and am reliable, have a good job, and take good care of my husband, its not as though i am not good enough, but i get the distinct impression that because im 'the woman', i dont matter, but they have no problem asking me to pay for it. oh, and the sister hasnt even asked me to be godparent, she only asked my husband.

HELP!!!!!!

Thanks girls.
