In this story, a woman got into an altercation with her mom after she attempted to open a credit card in her name without prior consent. The woman had recently moved out and was getting to grips with managing her expenses on her own for the first time.
However, her mom apparently thought it was a good idea to get her a credit card that she would ‘manage’ for her, in order to help her build credit. The daughter felt deeply betrayed and scolded her for doing something ill-advised and illegal. She did not feel that she was being looked after.

Entitled mom tries to take out credit card in 23-year-old daughter's name, gets offended when she refuses it: 'I'm just starting to get a handle on my finances'
Being a young adult can be an overwhelming experience. For many, it is the first time they have experienced a large level of independence, and this newly discovered free will can prove terrifying when it comes to the serious topics that we associate with growing up. One of these is money; keeping finances in check can be daunting, whether aspiring to big things in the future or just trying to deal with daily expenses.
There are a lot of parents who prefer to give their adult kids some financial help at this stage of life, but sometimes it proves to be more of a drawback than an asset. Some get given more money than they know how to manage properly, and others suffer at the hands of relatives who claim to know what's best for them, but are actually doing them harm. It is important to be savvy in these types of scenarios.
