Title of the Piece: and I rant and I rave and I rant rant rant

Hm, I just talked to my mom, who after 30 minutes cut me off and said “my car door is open, I’m sure my neighbors are wondering what’s going on”. She and I were talking about Gretl and Boyfriend. Seems to me that since Gretl thinks there is someone better for everyone out there that there is a) something going on in her relationship and b) that since she’s apparently not in hers for the long haul, that she doesn’t see the benefit of couples helping each other.

Do you all know that I got another credit card and Boyfriend is an authorized user on it? Well, yes, I did- like 7 months ago or so. He didn’t build credit when he was younger and a hospital bill mistake make it difficult for him to get a credit card… in order to help build credit, a cc helps. Since I was planning on getting another card, I just put him on as an authorized user—it can’t affect me negatively and it will just help him. Here’s me thinking I’m being nice, meanwhile the family thinks I’m being foolish. Um, if it could affect me in a negative way, we wouldn’t have gone through with the grand plan! Gawd. And who’s my mom to talk… she’s the one who just declared bankruptcy and had her daughters pay her bills for the last 6 months! I think things through… if I don’t want do it, I don’t. I offered to put him on, that idea never even crossed his mind! I guess maybe I need to start presenting ideas to people before I actually do them so they know I think stuff through. Something, I don’t know.

UPDATE
My ma just called me back. I think I got through to her. She seems to believe that I’m not 18 anymore and that I can think things through. She was concerned about the cc, but when I explained that I offered and we both did research and that it really is OK to do, she seemed more OK with it. I really am beginning to think that since she’s not seeing her relationship as a forever thing, that she doesn’t get why people help each other out with bigger life things. I guess she thinks she’s so great, too, b/c her friends established credit at a young age, whereas Boyfriend didn’t and well, *gasp!* how could you date someone who didn’t?! I dunno, it’s all pretty petty stuff that I just can’t worry about. I am happy, Boyfriend is happy and together, we are happy! We take good care of each other and so there!
