  Speaker 2: This is a Dear Abby question. We're going to go
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: right to this. So this comes from Dear Abby, which
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: is still going. A woman says she talks with her
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: grown daughter every day. Okay. On her way to work
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and again at night. So they call each other twice
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a day, or she calls her daughter twice a day.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And the fiance of this daughter says it's too much. Okay.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: You should be spending more time talking with your family

• 0:33
  Speaker 2: daughter has become my best friend. I don't agree that
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it's weird. I believe mothers and daughters who are close
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: do this. They talk at least once a day. I'm
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: very lucky. I help her with decisions. We talk about everything.

• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 0:50
