The only sort of things I know that are "non religious" kinda are...thr hippie new age kinda spiritual stuff.
Guardians, I think, is more a legal thing in your will for who takes the kids if the parents pass away, but I don't see why that wouldn't work for you, as presumably that's partially what you would want? I could have read that wrong.
Doesn't mean you can't make it what you want it to be for your family.
I'm still in my first trimester so I feel dreadful, lots of sleeping and throwing up haha.
But we're very happy, thank you :)
Yeah I suppose like you say here, make it what we want it to be for our family. I think in hindsight I was being silly saying "God Parents" as that's not what I meant, but I had God Parents growing up despite no one in my family being religious and it didn't seem weird to us at the time.
Awww congrats :) ugh. I've never been pregnant, but known many, many pregnant women. Idk how you all do it. Especially with older kids around. I am in awe.
Nah, I don't think that was silly. It's a pretty well known term for the concept.
My brother and I had a godmother only, I think. She wasn't even good friends with my parents. I think we only met her a handful of times. She was weird. I think mum did it because "that's what you do". We weren't a religious family. We weren't even christened, I got baptised at 17 of my own choice.
My aunt (piss drinking ex uncle's former partner) has an arrangement with a childless couple she's friends with as she wouldn't want her kids going to any of her siblings (to be fair, I don't think any of her siblings want her kids anyway haha). It's not religious, it's a social and legal arrangement.
IIN to ask close friends to be god parents if you aren't religious?
