I can't believe we just un-asked our brother-in-law to be Teddy's godfather! He is very pissed off and I wonder if this will begin a grudge that will last our lifetime.
It's a long story. We only asked Jack to be be godfather because he's married to Mark's sister-and she's the godmother. Jack is sexist, misogynistic, and lacks social skills. He is not a good role model and I was against asking him in the first place. But went along with it because of Mark. It undermines what a godfather is supposed to be. Besides, I can't tell Teddy that, "Jack is your godfather, and by the way, please do not listen to anything he says or do what he does." It would be irresponsible of us to go along with someone we don't think is good and it's not fair to Teddy.
So something happened that brought his sexist and misogynistic beliefs to the surface - not to mention he's being a jerk. So Mark and I decided to take the title away. Godparent selection should be easy and pain-free.
