Do you hide from your "god-children"?

I never hide from my godchildren. Months before the Christmas, i little by little save money for them, since we get to give them only on Christmas. I am just lucky though that as of now, i only have one godchild and 2 little nieces to give gifts on Christmas. The big ones need not be given gifts already, but instead they should be the ones giving me since they have their jobs already.

No, I don’t hide from my God Children regardless if its Christmas Season or not, if they are asking from some little gifts then I’d give it to them in the very best that I can, if I don’t have that much might as well tell and explain them about my side.

Funny, but this is very true. Some godparents hides from their godchildren for different reason. We cannot blame the godparents anyway,they don't want to disappoint their godchildren if they don't have something to give. So, they prefer to hide..lols

No, I never do that. They always received presents from me especially during Christmas season. I keep a lists of all my godchildren and see to it that all will receive their gifts but those who are grown ups, some of them are the one who gaves us.

No matter if I have money or not.. I will not give to someone if they expect me to do so. If I give I give what I am able to give. If I find out they do not appreciate it it's over. I always tell (and told) my own children that there is no better gift as an unexpected one, that it's not the gift but the idea/given by the heart behind the gift that counts. I am happy that they are happy with the smallest things and every little bit of attention do appreciate. BTW I never heard that god-children does expect that mostly from their god-parents. Not overhere, you just take over if the parents die.

I don't think there is any need to hide things from children. They should know the family conditions well and what they are capable of. I have seen some children who don't/cannot realize the financial situation of their family/parents. They go on demanding the things they want. The parents on other hand has have to face a lot of problem because of this. so its always better to explain children about the things what they are undergoing in a way they understand.

I never hid from any of them. And I try to buy them something every Christmas coz I know that they do expect something from me. But I am free from that now. Almost all of my godchildren are older and I do not think they would be coming over to know at my door and ask for gifts. My eldest Godchild is now 26 years old! God, am I old!

Hi nic! Why should we hide? Well, personally, I don't need to do that. If I don't have money on that particular day, what's the use of credit card? (joke). Of course personally, I already saved for my god children. Anyway this is just one of the time that they would come for me to ask for some gifts. Merry Christmas! Never do that, he he.

I have never yet hide from my god children. I hope I won't.:-) I think Christmas is for them especially. Throughout the year I have not given anything to them, so I see to it that I can give to them during Christmas. :-) Have a nice day!

Well personally, my parents chose my aunt as my godmother and since she was a close relative, she would usually give me something anyway! I am not a god-parent, but if I was in your situation I might hide too! Either that or try to find something cheap or homemade to give to them. Unfortunately, most kids aren't very good at accepting "it's the thought that counts" gifts!

What? I don't know what these "god-kids" are to the god-parents but they deserve nothing from the god-parent and even more if their god-parent are in financial troubles. This is just my opinion though.
