Asking Eric: Parent's questions keep offending adult daughter
Dear Eric: I am 80 and my daughter is 44. I am a retired professional and my daughter, a college graduate and business owner, gets offended when I question anything she does.
She's considering going back to school to enhance her marketability and when she showed me a counseling program she was interested in, I noticed one of the required courses was statistics. When I asked her if she realized that it is a high-level math course, she became insulted. Her major in college was graphic design, and she always avoided math classes once she left high school.
