[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 484051, member: 11847"] English being my second language, the love vs like concept is not an easy one. In French, love is love, there is only one word. You love potatoes just like you love your husband! lol. I suppose I get the idea but would have a hard time explaining it. Maybe, you could you love vs respect. Love is your natural birth right (although it does not always happen that way): your parents will love you no matter what. Respect is not a right, it is something you earn. If you care about yourself and others, you want to be loved AND respected by your parents. Your son does understand the notion of respect since he chooses to behave at school: he wants to be respected by his peers. Now, maybe, you need to explain the benefits of being respected by his family. Not easy, but might be angle you can explore. [/QUOTE]
