You don’t say whether if you ask a question your daughter answers.In my experience dealing with several millennial daughters, some are in touch frequently and others are relatively silent in between visits.
You should assume that she receives all of your texts and messages, whether or not you get the “thumbs up.” Bobbie told us all about her career, marriages, family, and extensive deluxe travel. She came across as pretentious. Christine joined in with her own pretentious stories. The third friend also shared a lot about herself.
These other women didn’t make any effort to draw you out, and you seem to have missed whatever chances you might have had to pivot from interviewer to participant.
