I've recently become a god parent to a beautiful, sweet baby girl. However, i'm not enjoying this role. I was there when she was born; was so in love with her. Then, exhausted from five days of lack of sleep, I almost dropped her. Because of said lack of sleep, this led to a lack of coping skills, and led to an ingestion/Er visit/inpatient stay. We have all recovered since then, dad has actually dropped her, and really we are all being broken into this new baby life (first kid).

I'm generally great with kids, which is why I was asked to be the God parent. Unfortunately, i'm not enjoying it as much as I thought it was. I've come to help as much as I can. Cleaning up, or helping with her niece who she has visiting. Etc. But everything I do she seems to want done her way - to the point of undoing what i've done and leaving it dirty.

She doesn't actually say anything about it, so I don't guess she is that perturbed, but it does irk me greatly because when I try to help, she doesn't accept it. At this point, I don't know what to do. It feels inappropriate to sit and stare and watch her try to do it all and be so tired, etc. - but i'm not going to sit and just do things for her to undo them.

I get that its not my house or kid, etc. But I don't know why my presence is requested to just kind of ... stare. I feel like a bother or a waste. Any ideas?
