Would you give up your godparent title and role if you didn’t get what you asked for?

This woman shares that she and her husband have been chosen to be the godparents of their niece.

However, when her brother told her that they would be getting a new godfather, she said she didn’t want to be a godmother anymore.

Read the full story and weigh in.

AITA for resigning as godmother??

Prior to the birth of my niece, my brother and his girlfriend asked my husband and I to be her godparents.

We were honored and excited!

Since the time she was pregnant, we supported their parenting decisions.

This woman and her husband gave so much to the new parents and the baby.

We mediated parenting disagreements.

We brought two bags of things from the registry to the baby shower I helped plan and hosted.

We also stayed at the hospital after her labor, cooked and cleaned for them, bought diapers, etc.

She is pregnant, but she makes sure to help with the baby.

Between the two of us, we babysit their now 2-month-old baby daughter pretty much everyday, despite being in my third trimester now myself.

So that they both can go to work, get groceries, do assignments, or even shower and nap, and to avoid putting her in daycare.

My husband and I are the only ones who have kept the baby overnight and have cared for her more than any member of either side of the family.

However, her brother decided to replace the godfather.

Today, my brother called me out of the blue (while I’m babysitting her) to tell me another sibling of ours is going to be the godfather instead of my husband.

This uncle has never babysat, never provided anything, never changed a diaper, and only ever even physically held her 3-5 times max.

He’s never even babysat my 7 y/o son for longer than an hour.

He has no kids of his own, does not keep a job for longer than 6 months, and doesn’t even do his own laundry.

She told him that if she’s switching godfathers, she doesn’t want to be a godmother, too

AITA for feeling like that’s ungrateful and pretty much a slap in the face for all the times my husband has gotten up at 2-4am to feed her, cleaned her bottles, changed diapers, etc?

I told him if he’s switching out godfathers, he needs to find a new godmother, too, because I feel like everything we do isn’t appreciated.

AITA?

This one shares a good point.

Meanwhile, here’s a meaningful suggestion.

Indeed!

And here’s another personal opinion.

If you truly care for the child, perhaps titles don’t matter anymore.

Just be there, you know?
