I've never felt the need to use bad language to get my point across.
See this is what I try to do when she wants to argue, She calls that "messing with her mind" or "Playing mind games" I guess because I quit letting her bait me into an argument. I try to stay calm and ask things like "why do you feel that way" etc. and she just gets angrier. That is what led her to calling me a "stupid old lady". She is 28 going on 15.
