Role of Godchildren

I think being a godparent is a bit like being a teacher. You see it as a one way giving relationship and it is a huge bonus if you get anything back.

How you explain this to your friend I'm not sure!

So sorry for your loss 1summer
No one should expect their children, let alone godchildren to look after them. She never had children, just to spite her mother-in-law !!!!! I’m sorry to say this, but I think your friend is quite a nasty person - I know I sound rather judgemental, but I can’t help it.

Very sorry for your loss

Glad she didn't have children, with the unrealistic expectations she has

Is this the first time she expresses ideas like this?
A person doesn't become so entitled out of the blue, the will threat is a classic manipulative move

Talking to her might not work at all.
It is nice you want to shield your daughter but she is an adult, she can handle this herself

So sorry for your loss 1summer.

mumofmadboys is correct. Godparents make promises to have an active role in ensuring their Godchildren are raised in the Christian faith, an obligation freely entered into as adults.

I wonder if it might be worth while talking to your friend about her attitude. Possibly pointing out to her that she is of course free to do as she chooses with regard to her will, that your D would never have expected to be a beneficiary and you will be very unhappy if she does say anything to her, especially as she is grieving for her father.

Isummer...your post is so sad and I am sending you a hug. I don't think it's right for anyone,friend or family to expect to be looked after.Maybe by a wife or husband but certainly not your daughter as a God child.Perhaps you friend could pay for someone to come to her house??

I'm sorry

Tell her the same to what you posted. Either she will gain a new understanding or not. If an honest chat causes you to fall out - so be it.

Sorry you have lost your DH recently

Godparents made the promises ,not the other way round. Of course it is lovely if godchildren are kind and caring towards their godparents as they age but there should be no obligation. I hope your friend says nothing to your DD.
