trying to help or way over the top?
we asked my BIl, DH's brother to be the babys god father. he said yes and we told him he needs a letter from his church stating he is eligible to be a god parent.
today dh's mom calls us and left us a v/m. saying that she called the church for him and wants to know blah, blah blah.
do you think dh's brother should call the church and get what he needs or should his "mommy." do it for him? he is 24.
and yes, this is the same brother who lives at home and his mom has to wake him up in the morning.

Re: trying to help or way over the top?
what is it with 24 year olds acting like children lately? I would say if you are giving him the responsbility of being god father, he should represent himself in a more mature matter.
These Moms who "baby" their sons are really creating problems

I'm 24, and I sure as hell wouldn't marry that.
....Rich moved past that about a year ago.

Re: trying to help or way over the top?
what gets me is that he probably mentioned it to her one night at dinner and she took it upon herself to call.
he is never going to grow up if this keeps happening.

Exactly! She needs to let him grow up.
I was married at 24. If I asked my mom to make a call after the age of, lets say, 18, She'd at Me.

Re: trying to help or way over the top?
Try not to let it bother you so much. Lucklily, you arent married to your DH's brother.
Both your MIL and BIl must be happy with the situation, or else it would change. Really, 24 is still pretty young these days, and he sounds immature. He'll grow upi when he's ready- proabaly when he meets a girl who doesnt want to date momma's boy.

ditto
dont' let it get to you---the way he is -- is something that a girl who wants to be with him will have to deal with. for him its easier to pawn it off on the mom and the mom likes it cause it makes her feel like shes important.
as long as it doesn't truly affect you and your DH---no harm, no foul

Yes he should have done it himself.
But if I could get someone else to make my calls for me, I'd probably do it.
My boss is 60+ years old & has someone make his doctor's appointments, has someone call & complain about bad service, etc.
