Confrontational grown kid, so tired

Posted: Mar 31, 2015

Before someone says way they were raised, both kids grown and difference between night and day. I just called my daughter to ask a simple question. She works with math, I am slow with it. She does a short form income tax each year, I itemize. My question was what was the standard deduction for a person on short form. I got so much talk back it was unreal from different places charge different, you have to know this and that and I said maybe I am not making myself clear and repeated, saying just a ball park figure and still yada, yada, yada. This is not the first time, it is always like this. Just the other day she was telling me, "Mom if you ever needed me to I would be more than happy to share your home and help you out" like if my husband died or I had to be dependent upon someone. I could never see that happening. Does anyone have the same issues and how do you handle. Do you ignore, try to get along, be submissive and not say anything to keep the peace, what works if anything does? ;
