[quote=Anonymous]Wow. You are reading A LOT into a single 3 letter word.  As in, she said one word which IMO is pretty neutral and you have spent days replaying a 15 second conversation in your head dissecting tone, meaning, number of word spoken to each kid, etc.  That is not normal. And it’s not how mentally stable people react.

You should respond by asking yourself why you feel so defensive and verklimptbabout your daughter’s career choice. And you should realize that the fact you haven’t let a *perceived* slight  *by someone you just met* go after several days says a lot about you— none of it good.

This was an almost stranger making small talk.  There is a 99% chance she could care less what your kid does with her life.  She was in a social situation and neeed to say something. Why are you assuming the worst possible motives?  And even if there was an intentional slight (which I seriously doubt), why do you care what some rando thinks?

But by all means, track down this person you barely know and demand an apology for a neutral word she probably doesn’t remember saying. If you want to seem crazy.

PS: I think getting an MSW does sound like FUN.  Especially compared to a hardcore STEM degree.  Abnormal Psych vs Multivariable Calc? I’d certainly take the abnormal psych. [/quote]
