Oh, and when I was that age my punishment often included disconnecting the battery in my car, forcing me to ride the school bus to school. Not sure if she drives but that was definitely an effective method.

I would agree with this post. I got married to my ex when her boys were 2 and 4 .........they called me Dad and their real dad "daddy Ron". I was the one running them to football or whatever they were doing when they were in school. They never gave me too much trouble but I trained them early and used a dowell rod on them. When the bills start coming in their name they can do what they want to do. All your job is to mode them........she may also be wanting this attention......but I think she will be okay......just SET SOME RULES and be prepared to back them up. Good Luck Scott.
