If the parent exercising the parental power does an act in excess of his authority or consents to an act of the child in contravention of Art. 886, he himself or the child may rescind such act. In that case the provisions of Art. 19 apply correspondingly.

By the foregoing provisions the application of Arts. 121–126 is not affected.

In case of an act as to which the interests of a parent exercising the parental power and of a minor child conflict, the former must apply to the family council to appoint a special representative for the child.

If a parent exercises the parental power over several children, as to an act in which the interests of one of them conflict with those of another; the provisions of the preceding paragraph apply correspondingly for one side.

A parent who exercises the parental power is bound to use the same care in the exercise of his right of management as in his own affairs.

Even though an act is done by a mother with the consent of the family council, she remains responsible for it, unless she is free from fault.

After the child comes of age, the parent exercising the parental power must without delay render an account of his management. In such case, however, the expenses of the bringing up of the child and of the management of his property are deemed to be set off against the profits of the property of the child.
