Choosing the god parents

[slovy]

hehe sis hindi po ako nagtampo.  I understand your post, agree nga ako eh. kasi ako din ayoko kinukuha ako ng hindi ko masyado ka close. hehe. ok lang sis.

It's hard to say no to people who request to be ninong/ninang, at least in my hubby's view, they might get offended pa daw.

If in case the church won't allow that many ninongs and ninangs hubby and I will need to decide who will be the "official" ones while others unofficial.

I have a question though, is it automatic that when we get a ninong his wife also has to be ninang? My hubby has a friend who is getting married next year after my baby's birthday (and christening). Thing is, I don't particularly like this girl and I sure as hell don't want her as my baby's ninang!

[wahmproject]

When we were preparing for my son's christening two years ago, we also asked whether there's a maximum number of ninongs/ninangs.  All the churches we went to said they dont set a max no. but there's a fee that you pay for each ninong/ninang that exceeds the set number in their baptism rates.  Also, pedeng uneven number ng godparents.  If masmarami ang ninong sa ninang, ok lang daw ganun.

Hindi ko rin gaano sure ang rules if automatic bang ninang ang wife if kinuha mong ninong ang husband. Siguro since they're married, "unofficially" ninang ang wifey kasi if something happens to the parents, and the ninong steps in, syempre kasama si wifey dun sa equation.  But the "official" ninong is still the husband and he and not the wife has the decision power/responsibility over his inaanak.  Kasi hindi naman nabless ng church and hindi rin napili ng parents ang wife nya as ninang. In our case, when my husband is the ninong, most parents of his inaanak still refer to me as tita.

^ Sa mismong binyag sis, isa lang talaga kinukuha namin, like yung asawang lalaki lang o asawang babae, kahit naman sa kasal, pwedeng hindi yung mismong mag-asawa ang kunin mo sa ninong at ninang.

Pero siyempre dahil asawa ng ninong ng anak mo yun, ninang na din dapat ang tawag niya, at siyempre, kahit ayaw mo dun sa babae, pupunta siya together with the ninong, at parte na rin siya ng buhay ng anak mo, kung ma a-associate siya sa ninong niya while growing up.

So kung ayaw mo talaga sa girl na yan, huwag mong kuning ninong yung husband to be niya

I think depende sa reason ng misunderstanding. Sa anak ko, andami naming Ninang and Ninong. Yung iba dun e nahiya nalang kami na hindi kunin kasi nag offer. Pero nag regret din kami kasi parang hindi namin ramdam na Ninang siya ng anak namin. Pero yung iba naman e ok sila. Galante pa magbigay ng gifts.=)

In your case, kung simpleng misunderstanding lang naman e tuloy niyo na. Ang importante naman e yung love nila sa anak mo. =)

i need your opinion: im having twins kasi hindi ako makadec
ide tig isa ba sila ninong ninang or same set?

hi sis.. me client ako for baptism invitation na twins, tig 3 pairs sila. as in hiwalay. i think it's up to you naman sis if you want na hiwalay or parehas.

[MrsLuluyz]

khriseeee - i think it is automatic sis kasi asawa/magiging asawa eh. she/he's the other half of the certain godparent eh. yung mga inaanak ko na di inaanak ni hubby dati, pinagbibless na ng lola nila sa hubby ko kasi ninong na rin daw nila yun (ikakasal na kasi kami next month). parang sa kasal yun sis, ninang/ninong natin yung mga asa-asawa.

[khriseeee]

^Hay, I really don't want her to be ninang

[CebuGem]

My hubby and i chose a total of 7 godparents for our daughter. Three of those seven were my choosing: my two bestfriends and a friend officemate who took charge of my baby shower when i was pregnant. The rest were chosen by hubby.

Other than they are my good friends, I chose them as godparents because they are professionals with good character that should my daughter seek advice or need help in the future, I am confident they will be there for her.

[MrsLuluyz]

khriseeee - sis if you really want the guy to be ninong, siguro ignore the fact na lang na ganun yung reality. imbis na ninang din tawag, edi tita na lang. parang dun mo na lang sanayin. since di mo maiiwasan ang mga encounters niyo in the future diba. at least di siya ninang. or if pwede namang hindi ninong yung guy, edi naka save ka na sa thought na "ninang" din yung girl!

[twelvth_goddess]

^Agree. I dont consider my husband's godchildren as my own either especially pag hinde ko type ang parents hahaha

[khriseeee]

^^Can't e, all the guys in my hubby's barkada want to be ninong and hubby wants the same. They've been friends since HS.

I won't make her ninang nalang. I guess it's acceptable nowadays, my bestfriend was a ninang and her hubby wasn't asked to be ninong.

[MrsLuluyz]

^ganun na nga lang sis!!! eh wala ka pala choice to make him ninong eh! hehe!

ako naman wala naman mashadong inaanak si hubby ko na di ko gusto yung parents, chaka most of his godchildren, ninang din talaga ako.. lol.. kaya wala problema sakin

naexcite na ako magfinalize ng ninong and ninang list namin. we still have 5 months to think about this!

[chummychum]

hi sisses! my son's baptism will be on saturday na sa twin hearts. he has 10 pairs of godparents. mostly relatives and close friends namen. gusto ko nga sana mas konti pa sa 10 pairs kaso ang daming nagvovolunteer kasi firstborn namen sya. nahihiya naman din akong tumanggi. pero buti na lang din yung mga nagvolunteer e kaclose ko talaga.

madami din akong inaanak. 19 all in all. yung iba kaclose ko talaga. yung iba kaya lang ata ako kinukuha dahil me maganda akong work. naiisip ko kung kukunin pa din kaya nila ako kung wala akong trabaho. hehe.

i just want to share a funny story. last sunday me nagpabinyag na kapitbahay namen. apo nya yung bibinyagan. weird lang kinuha nyang ninong yung hubby ko. e hindi naman sya kilala. hindi naman din namen kaclose. nung pumunta nga sila samen para sabihin na gagawin ninong si hubby pinasulat pa yung name ni hubby sa papel kasi daw sya yung lalagay sa baptismal certificate ng bata. then tinawag nya yung hubby ko ng john e jeff ang name ng hubby ko. then nung dumating ang invitation samen walang pangalan. hindi kami umatend ng binyag. pinaabot na lang namen kay nanay yung pakimkim kasi obvious naman na kaya lang nya kinuha si hubby kasi me work. then nalaman namen na 30 pala un godparents nun baby. lahat hindi nila kaclose at lahat me mga work. sadly, ginawa ng bussiness ang binyag.

[agape]

Considered pa rin bang Ninong/Ninang kahit hindi pumirma? Or wala sa list kaya di pumirma?

[MrsLuluyz]

^wala pa naman akong pinipirmahan ever sis.. nor hindi ko alam if pagginawa akong ninang eh kung nasa baptismal certificate ako. basta sinabi sakin na ninang ako, and i know the intentions are right, ninang talaga ang ganap ko sa bata. kahit hindi pa ako nakapunta sa binyag niya, especially kung nakapunta ako at naghawak ako ng kandila diba?

next sunday nga mag ninang ako ulit, anak ng kabarkada namin ni hubby (pero mas kabarkada ni hubby kasi nun time na naging close siya sa barkada, waley kami ni hubby) since the binyag will happen the day after our wedding, nagpasabi na ako na di kami makakapunta kasi shempre nasa hotel pa kami ng morning chaka pagod din. she understands din naman kasi kakakasal niya lang din nun january. sabi ko sa kanya, kahit di kami makapunta ni hubby, eh ninang pa rin ako actually mas friend ni hubby ko ito, mas sila ang nagkasama sa mga kung ano ano with the barkada. ako kasi nagkasama lang or naka bonding ko lang sya nun nagkabalikan kami ni hubby eh. di kami super duper close na nagtetext text ganun. ang ironic pa, me second cousin ako na pinsan niya din.

[reeseay]

hello sisses. i have a question:

kung kunware ninang ako ng son ng isang close friend ko, does it mean di ko na siya pwedeng kuhaning ninang for my son din? or ok lang?

[MrsLuluyz]

^ sis okay lang yun! pero sabi nila nagsolian ng kandila. pero bakit naman yung iba. i remember ninang ko isa, inaanak naman ng mom ko yung anak nun. so pwede! most of my closest friends na nauna sakin magkaanak, shempre ninang na ako, so paano diba pag my turn naman? pwede naman yun!

naloka ako, i was listing down possible ninangs for my little boy, 20 ninangs na yata ako. i want sana kahit 10 pairs kaso hindi kaya! chaka im really close to these girls and i want them to be my first born's second mom. di ko naman nilubos na like sa highschool barkada ko, 2 lang sa kanila ang kukunin ko na ninang, kasi pag lahat, paano na yung future babies ko, assuming na magkaanak pa ako. kung baka 1 or 2 lang per set of closest friends. pati sa families namin, ilang lang din. kaso ganun pa rin karami. haha! karamihan naman sa kanila nasa abroad eh.

[pinkpunk]

i still haven't finalized my godparents' list... binyag will be held na this feb! anyways, i got relatives and close friends as godparents. gusto ko lang ng 10 pairs or less.

[m_lim]

2 pairs lang godparents ng baby ko.
