Aren't godparents supposed to assist in the child's "church" education and set a good example

Yes but it's super difficult when you never see said godchild due to a move or divorce and they live with the mom who is Baptist turned Catholic turned Nothing -- I'll ask about mass just in conversation when I see them and the answer is typically "mom's too busy to bring us" and I'm far .. what can I do besides encourage the kid to tell mom it's Important to them??
