I make a very clear distinction between what a mother can say to her daughter and what a father can say to his daughter. A father simply cannot speak to his daughter that way. A mother has considerably more latitude with her daughter - a little less with her son but father-daughter is, in my opinion, the most delicate of the 4 possible parent-child gender combinations. Especially a twelve year old. If she's 18 or 19 then she already knows who she is - no big deal but at twelve? I find that difficult to accept under any circumstances.
And let's not forget that they weren't in a heated exchange where sometimes things can get out of hand. He was the only one talking and he was talking to a recording device.
