To think this is really weird to question my child on this?

My 10 year old went to a friends house for a lunch today. She came back and asked if we rent or have a mortgage. I asked why and apparently the friends mum had been questioning her. She asked my daughter:

What job I do
What car do I drive
Do I have a degree
Do we own or rent
How many holidays do we go on a year

Aibu to think these are weird questions to ask a 10 year old??

The mum is going to try to sell you something.

Asking what job you do seems OK, but the rest is a bit intrusive and I wouldn't expect a 10 year old to be able to answer reliably or accurately.

So yes, odd. I wouldn't be happy about it though wouldn't bother saying anything.

Odd and inappropriate! I wouldn't be sending her back there again.

The mum is trying to figure out if you are “her kind of people”. Grin
