[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 509215"] He wants to pick as his confirmation name the same name as his first name. I asked he wants to do that and wouldn't he rather pick something different, but he's adamant that this is the name he wants. Not the fight I'm going to pick. I brought the sponsor issue up to him last night. It went like this Me: If I could not be your confirmation sponsor for some reason, who would you pick as your second choice? difficult child: Dad! (You would have thought I would have seen that answer coming, right?) Me: What is you can't pick either your mom or dad? Who would you pick? difficult child: Why are you asking? Me: Well, I spoke to Sister Anne Marie and she told me that the Church changed its rules and you are not allowed to ask a parent to be a confirmation sponsor anymore. It has to be someone else that you think is special enough to honor. If you want to think about for a while, that's fine. difficult child: I'll ask Grandpa. Me: I think Grandpa would be a GREAT choice. And that was the end of the conversation. How come the things that cause the tantrums are never the ones that I prepare for? [/QUOTE]
