My mother does not like my boyfriend of 3 years. She claims that he doesn't do all the things a "good" boyfriend would do; like help take my car to the mechanic or help me move out of my apartment. Those things don't bother me. I'm an independent, college educated women in my 20's, I can do most of those things on my own. Plus. my boyfriend works about 50 hours a week and is the head boss at his company. He's a busy guy.
My mother doesn't have the best track record either. Her and my father are divorced and she dates, but is never successful in her relationships. She is somewhat old fashioned in her approach to dating. Thinks Saturday night is exclusively date night. If a someone she's dating, does not spend Saturday night with her, she gets upset and claims they don't care enough. If I decide to go out w/ friends on Saturday night, that's fine; but, if my boyfriend does the same, he's automatically is a jerk that doesn't care about me. Double Standards.
