Honestly, I don't think most God Parents would actually have to raise the child if the parents were lost. Most people have God Parents and then actually a different person on the paperwork as a legal guardian. God Parents is just a religious thing.
Maria this is true I think especially in my country it’s just a religious thing n even then they don’t even help in shaping that child in that religious way or even be present in that child’s life smh
Yeah I see a got parent as just a religious figure when the child has questions and maybe questions about other stuff too that's not their parents... most kids I know will have different god parents and then one set of backup legal guardians if something were to happen for all the kids
Yes. I have several grandchildren however, they would go to immediate family first then if none of them could or would then I would be the one to raise them.
Same as Lilian here. Most people where I live are getting their children baptised more as a traditional thing rather than an actual religious thing. The godparent is suppose to help in the religious upbringing. Once upon a time it was maybe to have a guardian were something happened to the parents but most people have wills now and it may or may not be the same person as a godparent.
I thought about this and was like maybe before the show starts they should have like a lounge area to have one free drink per person. But the drink is the same as the hosts are having that day.
@@jannawilliams6281 OK maybe get them to sign a waiver 😂 or bring their own drinks.. It just awkward watching just them drink. I understand the liability risk tho
There is a difference between legal guardians and God parents... of you for the court doesn’t ask for the God parents they ask for next of kin or if there is a will it would state who the legal guardians are to be.
My husband and I don’t have kids (infertility stuff), but we are here for our nieces and nephews if anything happens, and ready to step up to that responsibility. I’m not sure I’d do it for someone who isn’t family. I feel like it would be hard for the kid to suddenly not be with any family. Tamera’s friend lives in Texas...so then would the child move from Texas, and away from extended family? I feel like sometimes people choose someone as an honor, and that person accepts because they feel honored, but neither think about the reality of it. All in all, it seems more symbolic than anything.
I asked you to be a God parent. Not make my child your sole responsibility for the rest of your life. If you think being a God parent is the same as raising a child of your own, you obviously dont know what a God parent is...
Sarah Shabs I’d personally just say no. I feel like a lot of people only ask people to be their child’s god parent because they want some sort of help taking care of their kids.
@Nye 🤦🏽♀️Not wanting children, not liking children and having no interest in being a godparent isn't selfish! It kills me how people call us childfree people selfish. I think it's selfish and irresponsible to have children you can't take care of but most people still birth children they can't afford and want to put the babies and kids off on others when they're the ones that laid down and had them. I find no fun in people who try to place the responsibility of their children on me as if I don't have a life or my own problems to worry about.
Lmao that's not what a God parent is half the time but ok. Literally just a way of saying I love you and you habe love for my child. No one said you were gonna be a baby sitter. Like it's realky not an obligation
I believe the study 😂😂 Netflix cares more than your partner sometimes... Netflix is like " You Good ? You Wanna Keep Watching ? " it checks up on me when I need it ... don't act like y'all ain't ever felt like that before lol
Honestly, my brother and I had different God parents and if anything happened to my parents, we would probably would go with a family member. I have a Christian upbringing and I dont think people take God parents as seriously as it seems. Like my friend hasnt spoken to her God child in years. It would be bizarre for him to go to her after all this time if anything happened to the parents. I dont think it's that big of deal in my opinion.
How funny that this video came out. I am a godparent of two different children (both relatives). About five years ago an ex-coworker came up to me at a store and just out of the blue asked me if I could be her eighteen year old daughter's godmother. I think she never got baptized. She said she had no one to ask as she did not talk to any of her sisters. Me and this lady hadn't seen each other like in ten years. I was so surprised. I had to tell her no. She started to cry. I kind of felt bad but at the same time I know it was not the right thing to do.
Anyone else have too many god brothers/ god sisters? They mostly live in Peru and my parents are too nice to say no. I feel like my parents are being picked for the wrong reasons. Because the parents assume my parents are super well off. What do you guys think?
Wendy Fabian that’s the reason I said no as well. They just want to use me because they think I have money. And I simply don’t want that responsibility
Loni was smaller here. A god parent plays the role of an extra pair of hands to help raise the kid. They’re usually contributing to future college funds, and they include the child in their family as daughter or son in their household. Some god patents are more hands on than others, but it’s just whether or not they feel comfortable
My sis didn't tell me I was apparently my nephews' godmother 😂 she had told my mom I was though. I'm just there on baptism day standing up with them. But it's cool cause I love them
8:20 I find nothing wrong with this. I do that w my partner and we are fine. We just enjoy being near each other even if we don't do the nasty. It's something you get used to and we just like to be near each other.
June?? And this was uploaded yesterday lol no no girls I want you guys to upload the day of.. I want to keep up.. please!! I don’t have the channel to watch you all daily.
Being a godparent its not only a honour but also a responsibility. I was baptized with 4/5y and my mom passed away when I was 5y. Since then I used to spend most of the weekends, summertime holidays etc with my godmother, I believe they are very important in a child's life, because it will influence the child personality, they will be a role model to the child therefore they must be chosen wisely, and on the other side it is better to be honest and say kindly "no", than not being committed 100%
This comment is so weird on so many levels! Adam and his family will always be the family of her kids, no matter what ever happens between Tam and Adam. Also, your prayer should also extend to Tams family. Blood ain’t always thicker than water, if you know what I mean. So, I think it’s kind of weird to suggest that Tam should’ve chose another set of godparents for her kids.
Yes it's okay to say - I was asked by a close co-worker but I already had 2 god-children girl kids are expensive so I said no plus we had different religious beliefs.
The last story about the credit card is so true. This is where from now on I LIE! Telling the truth does nothing when things are morally incorrect. I do believe in karma tho
It isn’t really a big deal it’s just a title, I’ve only seen my godmother like 4 times that I can remember in my life, the last time was when I was 10 years old.
Ok wait so if something happens to the parents the godparents take the children? Doesn’t it have to be like a family member? Or do you need to leave a will stating who you want them to go with?
Typically, that is how it is supposed to go. But most of the time the Grandparents or family steps up. Unless it's written that the kids will be given to their Godparents in the living will.
Seee... being a Godparent just like a parent is a huge responsibility... so just in case something happens... you have to kick into high gear and take care and be the legal guardian of this child , should anything happen to the biological parents... and I think a godparent title should be given to one who really wants to take on that role
I turned down being Godmother for my nephew... My sister and I are not close at all and she definitely only asked me to try to keep me in the loop which I appreciated but in my family's religion it is a very serious spiritual role that I did not feel I could take on seeing as I wasn't a part of it. Instead, our little sister took on the role and she sees him everyday and takes the role seriously. I don't think I could have made a better Godmother than her.
A gf I haven’t talked to in a long time, asked me to be her son’s God parent and she was really respectful about it. But it was more of a statement instead of a ask and I felt like I would be a shitty person if I said no. Even though, she said it’s okay if you say no bc i don’t want to pressure you into this but i couldn’t say it. Wat a coward 🤣. And part of me just not in the mood for kids at all (yt) so emotionally I’m just not there so I feel really shitty at times because I’m just not there mentally at all. Sometimes the thought would cone to me to reach out and check in on the kids but than I would stop myself 😔. Idk meh. I think it’s a serious responsibility and shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s funny tht she’s asked me bc all my gfs know although I’m good with kids, I have never been the wanting to be mom type right off the jump. I’ve always been the work gal so I do feel if everythin happened to her financially her kids would be okay. I’m so sry she thought me but I feel somewhat guilty tht im not all the ya in it. Maybe I should start sending money over. Idk meh
Loni claims she felt so bad about the lady losing her $7,000, well you have money now, earn a good salary, help her out and send her her money back! At least half of it.🙄
But Tam didn't have experience when she had Aiden, so what makes that so important in a God mother when God gives you motherhood without experience? Before I even finished typing this she said she was a God mom without being a parent first "because she knew I would be a good mom." Okay...
Personally I wish I said no. The mother didn't even ask me. Her mother did cuz she have no friends. I'm her closest cousin even though we aren't close. 🤷🏾♀️ And I have never celebrated a birthday with the child cuz the mother never invited me. One time I even offered to plan one and she had one without me. She's 5 now btw. But when holidays come around there is an expectation to give gifts. Which makes sense except I feel like a bank cuz I don't see the child. Not only that...the parent expects me to take care of her too. And that's wild. I'm not doing that and cuz if I don't I'm not a good godparent apparently. I wish I said no. I'm single and tryna live my life. I got no kids. I'm not tryna be a bank of a kid I barely see and a grown woman with kids. And I asked to give the position back but my mom said I can't. Sigh. Think smart before saying ok. The same way they should vet you to see if you would be a good godparent....vet them back.
My parents are God parents to SO many kids lol and they love them. There’s some who have siblings and they wish my parents were their God parents too because their real God parents aren’t in their life. So for that I absolutely think that it’s NECESSARY TO BE HONEST. Please don’t say yes and then just never even go visit those kids.
How can the credit card cie accepted the 7000$ transactions? Usually it should block the transition and make the card owner call if it's a transaction he or she really wants to do, because it's unusual. Can we have the name of that card cie so no one have to deal with them? I can't blame the restaurant owner, I guess he was really not doing well to file bankruptcy over 7000$ that's really sad.
