[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I used to work 15 hour days around your daughter’s age. Including my commute, I was out of the house for 17 hours at a time. I would come home and pass out, because that’s how exhausted I was (and get up a few hours later to do my schoolwork).

I was really grateful to have supportive parents that understood that there were little things they could do to make my life easier. One or the other would get up early to make me breakfast. Dad would offer to drive me. There was a plate in the microwave for me. None was that was because I asked for it or expected it, but because they understood that I was trying, and wanted me to know that they were appreciative and supportive.

We have continued to have close relationships as adults. I guess this is my long winded way of saying you should always choose kindness. Your children will never forget it. [/quote]

I worked until 10:30 every weeknight after school.  My parents would often be in bed by the time I got home.  But my Dad ALWAYS had a plate prepared for me, ready to either pop into the oven or the microwave.[/quote]

Not the same situation. These parents went out one night. Yours was a regular routine. 17 year old can survive coming home one night without dinner waiting for her.[/quote]
