[quote=Anonymous]The converse of authority is responsibility. Up to this point, she has not been the one to raise this kid. She hasn't done the day to day work---in the kids eyes, she does not have the authority to tell him what to do. He follows rules in school and does well there, because he recognizes the authority of those people to tell him what to do. From experience, it is very difficult to push this kind of situation. I was that kid. Many years later, I can tell you that simply dealing with the kid as another adult will work far better than attempting to exert parental authority that was abdicated previously.
