Work attitude by daughter is resisted (7)
I believe the answer is:
opposed
'is resisted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'work attitude by daughter' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'attitude' becomes 'pose' (I've seen this before).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'op'+'pose'+'d'='OPPOSED'
(Other definitions for opposed that I've seen before include "Confronted" , "Hostile to" , "like foes" , "Stood against" , "Took contrary position to" .)
