picking two family members made us both feel at ease – you will need to choose who you feel comfortable with – its a big decision

for both our kids we picked family – one from each side

We’ve picked family only. If we had any more kids it would be our best friends

I think their role is one to be a good role model and also someone that will be there for them.

We aren’t doing godparents we aren’t religious but we would pick family if we did

It could be family or friends but someone close that you feel will be around still in years to come.

it really depends on the people and who you think would be best for the job

Family or friends I think it is just personal choice. To me the role of a god parent is a promise that if anything happens then they will raise your child like their own

We also chose family. We both have many great friends, but even if you don’t think it will happen you can drift away from friends. If I wasn’t close to my family I may have chosen friends, but I know that my family will be there for my kids when I can’t be. For me they are a sure thing.

I’d stick with relatives. There is less of a chance of a permanent falling out. My husband chose his best friend of 24 years and 6month later he got a girlfriend who didn’t like us and severed all ties because of the cow…

We chose Godparents from friends who had the same values as ourselves. They take an interest in the child and their development, though nothing more other than the child’s special adult they can turn to whenever they might want to.

I’m not religious so when I baptised my daughter we chose godparents who would be good roles models for her and be ale to teach her about the catholic religion n a way I couldn’t. I want her to be exposd to religion so she can decide for herself what path she should take.

When my daughter was christened, I got to choose one and my partner got to choose one. I chose my sister and he chose his sister (because she was a complete pain and would not take NO for an answer) so my daughter has 2 godmothers.

either you choose someone who is going to be there for the child 🙂

we have only had family for oyr kids godparents but it really up to you. we just choose people we could trust and that would always be there for us an our kids

Isn’y god parents are religious thing?
my parnter has a big family (4 sisters) and they always are ridiculous and trying to find out who my 4 year old son liked most so i figured we arent religious, whats the point ey?

You dont have to pick family, just people who you think will be the best possible guides to your children.

What really is a Godparents role I have no idea does anyone else know

Oops to add to that – wthe reason we chose these people was because they are close to us and we wanted loving, caring and close members to be their god-parents.
