At any age you gota be firm with your kids or they're gonna walk all over you, it proably started along time ago before you came in the picture now you gota deal with it. People don't teach and don't set the example then they expect good things out of their kids. People are selfish without realising it. I know thats not always the case but it often is.
Think about how you picture yourself 5 or 10 years from now...are you gonna be still dealing with their major problems? Trying to set the stage now is far more difficult at that age, be as firm as you possibly can, make rules and stick to'um, no favors.
Good Luck it can be done.
