My LO is 4 months old and we will be christening him soon. So my question is how important is it to select god parents. I had bad experiences with both my god parents that my mom and dad selected for me as a child and to be honest they never really did anything for me growing up and not to mention I don't have any close friends that I see fit to select for this role in my child's life.

* So is this a bad thing for my child to not have God parents?
