Furthermore, being able to pay for college with one person just taking a bunch of part time jobs doesn't seem realistic in the US. Maybe if you'd been working for a while and you'd saved up some but doing it suddenly doesn't seem realistic, even for cheaper in state college.
weeeeeell actually it is kinda like that in some southern states (or towards the midwest). especially if the parents are the main ones financing the wedding
Yeah they can reconsider paying for a big wedding, but they can’t stop you from going to the courthouse lol ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Right especially considering that most of the money you make go directly to living expenses and food there’s really not much of anything left over for tuition. Also, if her father owned a farm, she could get grants and scholarships for that (and for apparently being a college basketball player) lol
Right, she could get a sports scholarship for basketball. The author of the novel is Mary Calmes and according to her bio she's from Kentucky so she is from the US and furthermore from a state with ranches that's somewhat in the south where this is based in. I wonder why there are so many stereotypes and inaccuracies here then like college, the power parents have over marriages, etc. Even Rand's action of stopping Charlotte's tuition seems far fetched. If it is realistic, then its reflective of an extremely traditional, southern, US.
Depends on how they were raised and cultural things. It's not really unheard of people wanting their parents permission, sometimes they even do ultimatums if they disagree. Legally theres nothing stopping them but for some people their parents approval is most important.
I wonder where the author is from because in the US. It doesn’t matter what your parents thing of your partner and you don’t need their consideration to get married ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
