[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like if someone had written this letter about their spouse working late and they'd gone out with their friends and the spouse had asked the poster to grab some carryout people would tell the poster to do it.  Being nice to someone who's been working seems like extremely normal thing to do.  [/quote]

That's basically where I am. OP's child sounds like a good kid. At 17, she's working double shifts, and getting an AA. I would do whatever I could to be supportive of her. It's the right thing to do. It's not like she was lazing around in bed, or playing video games all day long.[/quote]

Presumably, being supportive includes the roof over her head and paying for most expenses and having food in the house from which she can find something to eat when she comes home and finds nobody home and no plate warming in the oven for her.  She's 17 and, as people have so adeptly pointed out, responsible and hardworking. She can pop some popcorn or make a sandwich or heat up leftovers from a previous dinner. It would be faster than waiting for her parents to get home with her dinner.[/quote]
