When my own children were preparing for confirmation, I sat them down and asked if they were SURE they wanted to because it IS an important decision. Yes, I would have had "issues" to deal with if they had decided NOT to do it, but I would have trusted their choice.
Personal opinion-I think raising a child in BOTH Jewish and Christian teachings would be confusing for the child.
I have problems with Christian faiths that condemn others- because a person is Jewish, Catholic, Muslim etc.... It is RAMPANT here and I find myself disliking a person INITIALLY, if I discover they are of one faith in particular. I am working on it, but not getting too far because the people I have contact with are so dead set, they are immovable.
It's very difficult to enjoy the company of someone who thinks you are going straight to hell!
