[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 648316, member: 14557"] True and not so true. He does have issues, he tries his darnest to do his job (and he mostly loves it), he is very labile in his respectfulness to me or his dad (but again it is more about him than about me or my husband) and he is definitely spitting on authority (and backstabbing, being other ways passive-aggressive, being spiteful and so mindbogglingly disrespectful that you wouldn't believe your eyes.) Lucky thing is, that I'm not an authority to him. I'm just a mom, those are other people who have to fight the wars about respecting authority with him. But that wasn't my point. My point is, that we should be very careful, when we assume our kids' belief systems are what they are because they are troubled or that their belief systems are indicators of some lack of thought or lack of morals from their part. Even if their belief system is different from what we raised them into we should not take that as personal insult, because it is unlikely their belief system is what it is because they would want to anger us with it.
