Power-less

Ahh the sweet smell of a slightly crazy teenager.  I try my hardest to keep a level head when dealing with the newly teenage step-daughter but she pushes me to the edge of reason.  I know I'm supposed to be the adult and act with reason but she just keeps on pushing until I (inevitably) burst.
The 'but why....?" question just keeps on coming with relentless repetition and I fall into the "I'm never going to go there.... but..... oh no....yes I just went there"..... "because I SAID SO!"
I don't seem to have any power when communicating with calm reasoning.  Unlike her father who calmly strolls in and says a couple of words and is obeyed.  To coin her phrase "ARGGHHH! It's so unfair."
