| 0:02.0 | All right, moving on, what are the rules of engagement cast when it comes to God |
| 0:07.1 | parents, right? |
| 0:08.3 | How involved should they be? Is it a label thing? Also, some people believe that if you're a god parent |
| 0:14.9 | you're sort of the backup plan something happens to me in the hubby you got this but |
| 0:19.3 | that doesn't necessarily mean you got to be involved all the time so where's your |
| 0:22.1 | confusion? |
| 0:22.8 | Yeah so the way I look at Godparents is they're sort of like honorary aunts and uncles |
| 0:27.5 | right like officially brought into the fold and one of my godparents of my children though has been I guess not doing something and it's not problematic |

| 1:36.9 | because nothing is happening I feel like something is wrong. Does that make sense? |
| 1:41.1 | That's convoluted, I know. It's so for us with our kids |
| 1:44.4 | the God parents were also relatives so they were always in their life but I can |
