Aunt Alexandra is rather pushy, and she wants to raise Scout differently than she's currently being raised. Both Atticus and Scout are sensible people, but don't feel the change is necessary, and despite his sister having the best intentions, she doesn't quite understand that they're happy the way they are, or why that is ok.

Why doesn't Atticus take offense at Mrs Dubose's insults?

I think that Atticus realizes that Mrs. Dubose is only saying what is on her mind. Since he is older then Jem and Scout, Atticus knows that what Mrs. Dubose is saying is what many people in Maycomb also believe. She is old and not quite aware of her insulting remarks and Atticus knows that.
