I really don't have any other advice. I just wanted to thank you for your post. I've been dealing with some behaviors with my 5 year old that I can't completely put my finger on, but your post has helped me to see that it's attachment. I do agree with Sundara about contacting the parent about the issues and to let her know that your daughter riding in her car telling her how you don't care should not be tolerated. The mother doesn't have to stop taking her, she can just let Hilde know that Hilde can't talk bad about you in her car.

I feel your pain. I'm tired too. My dd is bright and I'm having to tell her over and over again things that she knows not to do. And I'm often hearing that she misses her daddy (he's at work and of course not doing the discipline that I am doing). She is also argumentative-knows more than me at 5! I hope I get it dealt with now so we make it through her teen years. If not I'm just getting a taste of how bad the future is going to be.
