[QUOTE="Fran, post: 209459, member: 3"] Hi Sue, Personally I think respect is earned. When SS get through basic training, then you respect what he accomplished. As he does the proper behaviors then he gets respect. He isn't his dad and his motivation to join won't hold up when things are bad. He will either grow and mature to finish basic or he will do something stupid and fail or self sabotage. If the behavior is appropriate then the motivation isn't all that important. Lots of people work extra hard for the bonus. The end result is a young man who functions and hopefully achieves and grows. You don't have to like him. He has caused an incredible amount of damage and will be a long time mending fences if he ever does. Hopefully you will see him struggle and overcome. Then he earns respect. [/QUOTE]
