From a book I vaguely remember: the MC is a deaf teenager. She’s spent years saving up money from part-time work so she can afford college. Her parents take the money out of her account and use it to buy hearing aids for her younger sister, so the kid won’t have to grow up deaf. (Because apparently kids’ hearing aids cost as much as college? Holy shit.) Anyway, the parents genuinely don’t understand why the MC is upset.

She’s speaking to them again by the end of the book. I can’t say I would be.
