Not only is asking a friend of yours to pay for your child an absolute cheek, but it reeks of entitlement. Maybe this is how god-parenting works in her family…but the rest of the world has never heard of anything so bizarre. The sad part is, her friend probably would have spoiled the baby regardless, and now not only has she lost a life-long friend, but also an aunt to her daughter.
Distancing yourself from a friend is never easy, yet it is sometimes a necessity…especially if they're unable to see your (very valid) points. And in this case, her friend's point is a neon yellow sign during a clear day: Impossible to miss.

Woman refuses to be godmother to pregnant best friend's baby, after demanding she buy $200 gifts for her baby and contribute $300 to a college fund every month: 'In my family godparents are expected to financially contribute, and you agreed to the role'
Being asked to be someone's godmother should be a privilege, not a debt-collection.
Well, this woman is beginning to have second thoughts after discovering her pregnant bestie's definition of "godmother." These two women have been friends for years, and when "Stacey" fell pregnant, she had no doubts in her mind that her high school bff would be the perfect person to ask to be her baby's godmother. Her friend was obviously ecstatic and quickly agreed, until Stacey pulled out her list of financial responsibilities that came with the role, a "tradition in the family," or so she referenced the unheard of "rules…" But after discovering that her dear friend expected her to act as the family ATM until her daughter is old enough to drink, drive, and get degreed…
She requested that her friend contributes $200 worth of gifts for every celebration and pay $300 a month towards the unborn child's college tuition. Laughable, we know! As you can imagine, she quickly veered off the road of agreement, merged onto the "forget this" highway, and sped as far away from her gold-digging "friend" as possible.
