It was like Roger was walking a fine line here, since he was living at Collinwood and she was the mistress of the house, and never let him forget it. There were plenty of times when she overstepped her bounds in regard to David. At first Roger neglected David badly and was always threatening to send him to some boarding or military school but no matter how wrong that decision was, it was his to make and not Liz's. She also overstepped her bounds when [spoiler]Roger was fixing to hand over custody of David to Laura, she forbid him to do that, and wouldn't let David leave. Though we're glad she stood up to him because we knew what Laura was and her plans for David, it was irritating sometimes to watch Liz act as if she were the authority over David and Roger.[/spoiler] I think she sincerely loved David and wanted the best for him but she was not his parent, Roger was.
