First, sometimes you just gotta do something for "YOU", that is why I started to quilt. I sewed a LOT when my kids were little. Now they are all grown and have kids of their own. I found myself very depressed, all I did was eat, sleep and work, (not necessarily in that order). I am much happier now. I mean MUCH happier. I think I am a lot easier to be around, as well. I did have my DH comment one day that I was spending a lot of time and money on my "habit", but it is my time and my money!! He loves to fish, so all I did is tell him that I would give up quilting if he gave up fishing. End of discussion!! Now he even helps me find Quilt shops during our travels, and he even goes in and helps me pick stuff out!! I am sure your DD has something she likes to do, point that out to her, it will allow her to understand better! Besides, you can NEVER have too many quilts!!!!!
