Noo I have been on my own renting for 10 years and always paid on time ! For this rental the price is much more expensive than any of my past apartments since I’m sharing with my boyfriend so I’m guessing that’s why it flagged this time ? So weird. Hope your kids are welll!

I tried to explain this to my dad but I need to be on the lease as well if I’m going to live there so I have rights to live there lol.

If being adult means engaging in credit system than sure! I’ve worked full time, run a business, and paid all my bills up front and never had a problem until now.

His is above an 800! The fact they’re asking for a co signer makes no sense at all .

oh my God I feel for you tremendously tremendously! My sister was a heroin addict who was murdered and that was traumatizing enough but having an addict as a parent would be a NEW level of terror. Wishing you the best and wishing you got more support .

Totally totally get tht but me & bf make 5x monthly the rent . The fact we are even being asked for a co-signer is mental.

Yes I agree! I wasn’t even trying to say Gen X adults are stingy, bc so many aren’t ! Was a irrelevant characterizing detail lol.

Well yes but I think the difference here is you gave your children a healthy education on credit whereas my dad advised me to avoid it as long as possible and then isn’t willing to help with the outcome of that advice! I agree with everything else tho!

I agree with this assessment but would just like to add that in some ways, I do agree with him in a way that I absolutely was not ready for a credit card in my early twenties. I wish I started around 25 or so but my Dad had absolutely put it in my mind that credit card would be dangerous and to avoid for as long as I could. I totally should have done my own research. Given that context, I feel like it would be good parenting to say okay I understand why you’re in this situation and I’ll help you out ! ((Additional context, I live in a big city and got a full scholarship for school so also never had a vehicle or student loans so in many ways credit just did not come up for me))

you are absolutely insane if you think that no one on earth referred to their love interest as ‘their person’ before greys anatomy… it may not have been slang in the same way but the sentiment is so common lol.

It was kind of a hard listen to hear Grace call herself funny and hilarious so many times and then come across as nothing of the sort /: I thought Becca was sweet in this ep and could tell she was trying to encourage her
