My daughter, pushing 40, talks and texts to her mom, daily; they are best friends. My daughter and I have rousing discussions but the bottom line is that we agree on far more than we disagree and we both respect each other when we differ. And, to be clear, my daughter asks my opinions very often, whether she agrees with the answers she gets is up to her, but she asks.

Generalizations are generally wrong.
