...And thank you Mary, because it bugged me so much to see this posted at fifty_something (LJ comm. for over 50 folks) and see so much cheering for the dad, and self-righteous judgement of the teen.
He just decided to to what she did, and we don't hear him mentioning the mom much or just what it is that they do together as a family or what she is allowed to do for activities on her own (band, art, glee club, whatever) so that she won't be overwhelmed by her chores.
It sounds like from sunup to sundown there is stuff for her to do, but he's not mentioning anything other than Facebook.
She did go overboard with the cleaning lady stuff, it sounds like, and the dad sincerely sounds hurt. But he's the dad, he's supposed to keep a cool head, not waste his money(or his daughter's money)by shooting a computer that never hurt him!
