How To Resign As a Godmother...!

A good question Rosequartz. Personally, I would talk to the parents and child, if old enough- and explain you've changed and feel differently now- and how you currently see your role- and give them the choice on how to proceed. If the religious aspect is important to them, then say you really would prefer it if theiy found someone else for that religious support rôle- but that you, of course, will always consider said child to be very special to you, in a different way. Honesty and openess, for me, is always so important in any special relationship.

* Rosequartz * It is true that none of us truly knows how we will feel about certain subjects in a year or ten years time. But we can be true to how we feel right now.

I agree with granjuras' post above.

My God children are grown up now (one in late 40s, one in their 50s!) so I don't feel responsible for their spiritual welfare any more and haven't done for a long time.

However, I don't think I could resign as Godmother, in a way it's like deciding not to be a parent any more. I would always try to be there if they needed me for whatever reason.

Interesting debate. Pity OP didn't come back to tell us if any comments helped her to decide what to do.
