When a parent provides for their child financially, it is a great gesture of love and the child can focus on their studies instead of worrying about money. But sometimes, what parents want in return for their financial help is too much. Like this student’s dad who wanted to control her grades and would not pay for her tuition if she didn’t meet his expectations. So she saved up herself and now comes the time to announce it to the family. But the dad was so furious when she embarrassed him in front of his relatives that a family fight ensued.
