Pre-Teen girls birthday D&D

So my daughter (about to be 12) has asked me to introduce her 4 friends to D&D for her birthday party.

It’s been a long time since I played so I wanted to see if these loads made sense.

Just at race/class thing right now, just seeing if it all makes sense. I haven’t DM’ed in years and am more of a “rule of cool” DM.

So what do we think for a group of 12ish girls:

1: Tiefling Sorcerer

2: Halfling Cleric

3: Dwarf Barbarian

4: Elf Rogue

5: Dragonborn Paladin.

Probably won't do anything about it, but I'm curious

So, last year I was going through my records to check if I had everything covered. Turns out back in 2011, the Active Duty side put in my notes that I had an Adjustment Disorder(never told me)

I wasn't aware of this rating and got it through the VA like 10 years after getting out when a civilian counselor put it in.

Is it worth bringing up? we're be talking maybe 10 years difference(got out in 15, first rating in 16). What would the process even be?

Probably won't do anything, because I'm 100% and dont want to poke the bear, but I'm curious

I feel horrible about how I think of my step-kid

Part of me is starting to think like the stereotypical step-dad "not my kid, I don't need to do anything" but I am trying really hard not to be that.

But this kid is really trying me on the daily. Constantly on the phone, which we try not to limit them "just because". Absolutely lazy when it comes to chores. 12 years old and can't remember to double-check dishes to ensure they're clean. Their part of their room is always an absolute pigsty and they just half-ass it all the time. Constant blaring of music in the headphones to where we can hear it 7 feet away. Claims they have it that loud to "keep the voices in my head quiet"

I honestly have tried to treat all of them the same, but they're really pushing it with me. This morning I was having some vehicle trouble, and for some reason they thought they needed to get out(no one had said anything to them about getting out) so when they asked if they could get out, I told them no. Apparently they got extremely pissed off about the fact I told them no.

Constantly says one thing to us and another to their sibling. They complained that they didn't like the teasing we all do as a family to each other, so then we stopped teasing them; then it was a complaint that they were treated differently.

I've tried talking to both parents about it and they just kind of shrugged it off.

At what point is enough enough? I honestly just want to say "f it" and not put forth any effort to this one because they obviously don't want to put any effort into anything except their phone and cartoons
