Do you feel obliged to give gifts to your godchildren for every important occassions like birthdays, christmas, moving up/graduation?

Not really obliged. Iba na kasi when you say obliged e. It's like you're there as a godparent for the gift during special occasions. With my kids kasi, they never as in NEVER received any gifts from their godparents after the baptism. At first, I felt bad kasi parang bakit naman sila ganun to think super close friends ko pa ung godparents. But eventually, I learned to accept that you can't really rely on gifts. Godparents are there to guide and help you out with the children if you ever need their help.
