Daisy's statement about Jordan spending weekends at her home and the home influence being good for her is ironic because Daisy herself is not a good role model and has a loose and careless lifestyle. The home influence she is referring to is not actually good, and the parties and social events that take place at her home are often wild and morally questionable. The idea that Jordan will be positively influenced by such an environment is therefore ironic.
