Divided parents 🙁
Hi Mamas!
Advice please! My husband is religious. I'm not at all. Baptizing our 5 month old son is very important to him. It's not a necessity for me and I don't see the point. Tonight he communicated with me that he'd like us to start thinking about picking godparents. The truth is I don't trust anyone to raise our son the way we want to if either of us are gone one day. We tried for 10 years. Had 4 miscarriages and when we gave up we got pregnant. ALL babies are miracles but this little guy is a dream come true and while everyone in our lives is supportive and adores our little guy, they didn't live what we lived so I don't think they get the magnitude of what this boy means to us.
Tonight during our chat my husband mentioned he'd like me to consider his sister as the godmother. I've been with my husband 15 years and I've met his sister 4 times because she's lived in Florida for many years. I don't want my son to live with someone he doesn't know. I told my husband that and I think it hurt his feelings.
In the end I told him to pick the godparents because my heart isn't in this and it's clearly a priority for him that it isn't for me. I'm not sure what to do now. What would a happy medium be? Is there even one? Should I stick to my guns and not baptize or let my husband have this one.
Did any of you Mamas experience a divide when it came to baptizing? Thanks in advance!
