Larry you should explain to her how she should be happy to be in a family that provides for all her needs. That Mennonite girl may not have been doing without because a lack of money. They just have a basic belief in living a more simple and less mercenary life style. I have several Mennonite and Amish friends. Some of them may be poor but most are not. They just live a much simpler life style.
Their order of belief is: 1)GOD 2)Family 3)Community. Notice that Self is not in the top three. Look at young people in the main stream and self is the top one.
Not just throwing rocks either. My kids are/where just the same. The only good thing is that most can grow out of it as they age. Some don't though.
Maybe explain to your daughter that her responsibilities don't change just because her friends are coming over. She should be helping ALL of the time. I know it is easier to just do the things yourself but it is not in her long term best interests. You and the wife need to sit down an decide what your daughter should be doing on a daily basis. I don't care if she is going to school. My wife and I have to clean/cook/ maintain our house with all the other things that life requires doing. I can't just quit doing these things just because I have to work or etc. They have to be done. She should learn that NOW not later. She is not a small child any more. We treat young men and women as children much longer than in the past. That is not doing them any favors.
