[quote=Anonymous]OP doesn't say what faith they are, but in a Catholic baptism, there is a blessing of each parent. The sacrament of baptism is not only about the child. In an infant baptism the role of the parents is very important, because they are giving assurance that they will raise the child being baptised in the Catholic faith and upon Catholic values. The child's parents are apart of the sacrament, whether it is one or two. Yes, a single parent would be the only one presenting the child for baptism, but a married couple would present the infant for baptism together. It is also a part of the vow taken in a Catholic marriage, so to just not show up for it is a big deal. I actually think a priest who knew Dad skipped out for a soccer game would tell the family to reschedule and rethink their commitment. It's not just a ceremony; it's a sacrament.[/quote]
