Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11.

0:11.0

Georgina, welcome to the program.

0:14.0

Hi, thank you for taking my call. Thank you. What can I do for you?

0:21.0

Well, my daughter is a, she's a young adult. She's graduated from college. She's married.

0:32.0

She is also recently inherited a pretty good amount of money. And they are just, you know, trying to decide on a house. She and her new husband.

0:48.0

And her, we, I, we feel like my family, her parent, you know, her side of the family feel like we have just protected them for making about a half a million dollar mistake because they had made an offer on a home that just had so many problems and issues.

1:07.0

2:10.0

And you gave your opinion, she's a married woman.

2:15.0

2:22.0

I know it's hard.

2:25.0

Yeah, but that way you kind of lose your daughter if you push too hard to make her feel incompetent.

2:35.0

And just trying to protect her.

2:37.0

You're making her feel incompetent as she told you to stop giving advice as she told you that.

2:48.0

Yes.

2:51.0

Stop talking. Stop talking.
