How many God children do you have?
I have a couple, and none of my six brothers and sisters even have kids yet. It was fun when I had 2, I was able to do special things for them, but now I have more, and it is harder. I went out to get them all Halloween packages, and every year there packages get smaller, but I am spending more, as I pick up more babies along the way.
I am sure more are in my future too....I feel like I should decline after awhile, and concentrate on my current ones. I want to also be a great one for my own nieces and nephews one day.
anyone feel overload?
I think for my babies I am going to pick an unpopular couple

Re: How many God children do you have?
I have three.
My cousin's daughter, she's 7
Another cousin's son, he's 1-1/2
And my nephew (DH's side), he's 5 months
They are all so special to me. I know I am going to be godmother to my cousin's other daughter (the 7-year olds sister) when she makes confirmation.
It is overwhelming because I want to spoil each one rotten all the time, BUT, I have trained myself to be less monetary and more emotionally available.

Re: How many God children do you have?
I have none although I would love some! None of my siblings have children and I have no friends with children.
DH has one of his nephews - he always gets him a little something extra than the other 4 kids.

Re: How many God children do you have?
DH and I are godparents to 3 of them. Then I have 2 on my own, and DH has 1 by himself.
so between us is 6. Then for the 3 we share, I feel like I don't want to gip them, so I try and not couple up their things, and instead try to do something from their Godmother or Godfather.
I really don't mean the money either, even though that plays a role in this. It is 6 kids that i try and be a very active part in their lives.

Re: How many God children do you have?
DH and I have 1 together. He's my cousin's son and he's being baptized in November.
I don't think there will be anymore. DH is an only child and all of his cousins have their own siblings. My brother neglected to raise his children with any religion. I mean "neglected" in the sense that he really didn't ever "get around to it". So, my niece and nephew don't have any godparents.
For us, I have no idea who we're going to pick. It seems like our choices will be: 1 couple who is already overloaded. Other people who are irresponsible.

None, but I didn't have any godparents myself.  I don't know if my kids will.

that is me and DH, the overloaded childless couple. Oh and this is the selling point, I go to church When I was 12, I became my little brother's godmother, that was ideal. He was my only one for years.
My other younger brother is my younger sister's godfather, she is still his only one after 16 years. they have a very special bond.

Re: How many God children do you have?
well, what about this, my last godchild was not baptized catholic. When I was asked, I told parents, that I am Catholic, and if their beliefs are different isn't that weird? The same beliefs would be a must when I am picking out a Godparent. I think I am going to pick my oldest godchild anyway.
and for parents, or one day parents...Did you compromise with DH and let him pick a godparent? I have no idea who DH would pull out of his past.
