Mike, the advice given here is good. You need to be the parent and not the friend. Sometimes it means being mean, or tough. It isn't called "tough love" for nothing. You must be consistent, though. Set the expectations and the limits. It was 10 times tougher for me, as a step parent. And my ex-wife was not consistent.
