fidelia, I like your tactful advice but you can't add more adverse things to someone's life to push them over the line into proactivity, they will have to do that for themselves. However I do think that you have provided a solid "am I considerate?" checklist of responsibility. While it promotes everyone operating at optimum performance, not everyone is going to fall into that or not yet. Some people even have legitimate reasons for being up at night (and what's wrong with loving the night time? many cities have 24 hour culture).
The world is pretty competitive and overcrowded these days. I think some can have unrealistic expectations of how difficult/easy it is to stand on your own in X city. I feel there's a lot more that demands your attention than when your parents' generation had to figure out early adulthood. But prove to them you can do it too, and do it better! Ignore them if they don't give you the opportunity to do it right and simply want instant gratification from their kids. You're going to school full time. Seems proactive to me.
