Yes you do. It is all in how you say it. ” son, the same way you want and expect us to respect your choices, we want and expect you to do the same. If you choose to be mechael Shabbos there is nothing we are going to do about it. We are going to give you the space to make your own choices as painful as they may be to us, and whether we see them as good or bad choices. However, we will not allow you to flaunt them in our face and ruin the menuchas Shabbos for the entire family. These new choices against our beliefs are yours and yours alone to be made in private where it can’t effect the rest of the family. We are also entitled to OUR choices and it is to keep Shabbos in our home without interruptions. You have chosen to do things according to your chevra and here in our home we do things according to our chevra. We expect you to respect that.”
