God-Parents?

Has anyone given thought of who you will choose for your baby's god parents? I still have a long ways to go but I know who I want ad the god parents but it does not include my boyfriend's family. He mentioned his brother and sis but his brother has been a rude jerk to me since the day I met him and his sister (who has kids) is unfit to be a mother and I would not trust either of these people to be the god parents of my baby. I feel selfish because i would like one of my brothers and my bestfriend who has been nothing but nice and supportive of my bf and our pregnancy. What do u guys think?

Honestly, traditionally you two are suppose to pick a married couple who you two feel could take the responsibility of being parents of your child. But that doesn't always work (especially bc we are 18-24 yrs old) we barley know a lot of people who are married. So the next step would be like one of the ladies said you pick the God mother and he pick the God father. Now honestly I wouldn't pick anyone who is in any of you two families. They already have a title wether it's aunt, uncle, cousin, grandma and etc. it should be a friend of the family who you and him both trust. So even though you pick the God mother he should be supportive, and comfortable with the decision you make. If not then talk need to converse and you might need to revaluate who you pick and vice versa. I pray yall make the right decision and find some great for yall child. Best wishes :)

Well traditionally he supposed to choose the god father and u choose the god mother... I think you  should do that  only reason why I say that is because u don't want to make him feel left out, So what you should do is have a conversation with him (ur bf) and let him know that he may have to pick someone else for the godfather....because and tell him the reason,and also tell him  that you have the godmother to choose

Yeah a good finically stable person would be smartest last thing you'd want is for your baby to go to your bfs brother n sister in law if they're just rude if something were to happen to you two! I'd probably go with a close friend of ours just because my brothers aren't the best. Ones forever in and out of prison, the other one is so selfish that he makes $35 dollars An hour but still won't help my mom who's sick, and my little brother is 15 and needs to focus on school and baseball lol so I'd def go with a family friend
