Those wtf moments

So my future cousin-in-law, a couple of weeks ago at my gender reveal, made a comment calling herself my kid's godparent. I passed it off as her making a joke. A couple of days ago she again made a comment about her being my kid's godparent. Hubs and I speculated that she's possibly hinting about wanting to be. Texted the actual godmother and asked if she'd heard anything about this (both womens' fiance/husband are my cousins and we're all close enough, closer to the godparents though) and come to find out she's been telling people she's the godmother and when the actual godmother referred to LO as her godchild she got a dirty look and a pointed "my godchild." So now I have to talk to her about it, which is just something I'll have to do. But just, what the actual holy hell. I don't remember ever even mentioning anyone being godparents to my kid.

Let's discuss wtf moments and how days later I'm still bumfuzzled about this.

    Fiancé's aunt did that with my 3 year old. She attempted to baptize him day after he was born. She literally had/has no relationship with us to where she could assume being his godmother. I cut that off extra quick. We named my son after his godfather. That's how important they are to us and how much they helped us through my pregnancy (I was 17) According to my mother u aren't supposed to say no when someone offers to be ur child's godparent but I honestly didn't care. I wanted my son to have godparents who would be there for him no matter what happens between everyone, just like my godparents are for me. I hope she understands when you speak to her and no one gets upset! A baptism should be so happy and not stressful. :)

    All I can say is wow.. My ex friend is mad because I didn't invite her but I invited her mom To my baby shower.. I haven't spoken to her after we had a huge falling out 3 years ago.. Her mom and my mom are very good friends and when I needed a ride when my car died when I was 11 weeks pregnant her mom was the one who came and picked me up and when she asked her to come help her she told her no because she didn't want to.. But she expects me to invite her to my baby shower.. And then she made the comment to my best friend on a comment on Instagram about how is her godson.. Talking about my son.. Umm I'm sorry but there is no way she is the godparent of my son.. I haven't actually talked to her in 3 years... In what way does that make you the godparent of my son?!?!?!? Yeah that came to a stop very fast..

    Edit because I can't spell today..

    My SIL threw a fit and didn't talk to anyone for a few days when she found out my other SIL was the godmother! Arguing and all. She lives out of town and we aren't close nor do I know her well, whereas the SIL who is godmother actually hooked DH and I up on a blind date and I've known her for years and she's been there for us through some tough stuff and we talk constantly. Apparently the SIL who got upset assumed that just because she is the oldest sister that she would be godmother. Um no? I have a sister too who didn't get to be godmother either, so what was she thinking? So much entitlement, and to throw a temper tantrum and argue and not talk to people was wrong. Mind you she is also 38 years old.
