am i wrong..

For feeling like shouldn't NOBODY outside of family claim my daughter as their God-Daughter or niece, if they havent did anything for her. Not even buy a pack of diapers or wipes? I just feel like everyone doing all this claiming but havent even did anything to earn the title.. maybe its just my hormones, opinions please? Thank you

godparents is only a name to label things . My sons fathers cuz wanted to be my son's god mother but didn't bother to visit me nor come to the baby shower. Won't even call. Just wait a while and you'll see true Colors on ppl when your Child is born. You'll know who to pick from there

Well, agree that asking to be godmother is a bit much.  I did participate in my sister's events and talk to her and she and I are beyond sisters and like friends even though she is older than me.  So, we had a relationship. I had no money in college so didn't buy things for her when pregnant or when my niece was first born.  But once I was working, I got presents for my niece.  And most importantly, I adore her and spend time with her.  

Some aunts and things might be tied up with their own things but will be excited once she is here.  I'd give them a chance but not honor them with godmother or something like that.  

I did find once I had my own kids, I craved people loving my kids outside my hubby and myself.  so, if someone comes around and is great to you and your child after they are born, hopefully you'll accept them.  :>)  good luck

I understand you need support throughout your entire pregnancy and steps through mother hood if they aren't their for that they don't deserve to have a tittle

Hm.  Ya know, I was in college when my niece was born.  I didn't buy anything for her.  But she was born, we bonded and I love her very much and she loves me.  We are really close!  Love isn't always about things in my opinion.

My "friend" only comes to visit me to see my daughter and wants to be her Godmother...the whole way throughout my pregnancy she came to see me once...
It's not wrong to think that :)
