[QUOTE="keista, post: 508755, member: 11965"] I thought this was always the rule - no parents. Anyway, I would lead in like DDD said, but you also might consider having your favorite pick (hopefully someone difficult child is pretty close to) ask difficult child if he could have that honor. This way it takes the pressure off of difficult child having to ask. Might seem like a trivial thing, but it can be huge. Me? I asked my Aunt to be my sponsor 3 days before confirmation. I was shy and insecure and spent 3 weeks with her shopping for my confirmation dress - I figured she knew already that it was her "job". Anyway, I was forced to ask her even so late. So in my humble opinion his anxiety could be getting in his way and that's why he wants you as his sponsor - easy peasy. If you remove that stress by having someone ask him for that honor, he might be a lot more receptive. [/QUOTE]
