She argues with you about everything. Even what the caculator says is wrong when you use it. You decide to start picking your battles, letting things go unless it's a safety issue. Today she gets angry at you before you start on her hair and won't let you do it. Her bio father is already at work. It's your job to get her off to school. You tell her, Fine, style it yourself. She finishes it and has an uneven part down the middle, lopsided pig-tails hair all over her head. She knows it looks bad. You offer to fix if she will apologize or ask you to redo it.
