  • 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.
