Redditor Angry At Mom For Missing Her Graduation Because She Chose To Stay With Other Daughter And Her Newborn
Welcome back to another post today that we'll be looking into from the AITA thread that was submitted by someone looking for advice from the internet. Ultimately, people come here to see if they are wrong for how they acted in a certain situation, and in this case, people have a lot to say.
Now this person comes to Reddit to explain that she has an older sister who recently had a baby, and it happened to be the night before her graduation. So the next day, she expected her parents to go to her graduation, but their mother refused to go because she didn't want to leave her eldest and her grandchild.
This situation obviously was upsetting to OP because she wanted her mom to be there, and I think that she kind of expected her mom to be there, but she really didn't come to the graduation. The story itself ended up working out because they realized what they did wrong, but ultimately there are a lot of feelings still attached to this story.
With this all being said, we want to share with you OP's full post so that you can get an idea of the story and what happened. We'll also be sharing some of the best comments on the post as well.
OP starts off her post with explaining an update on the situation and how everyone reacted about this situation and it turns out that her family actually was on her side mostly and not her mom's side.

It seems like almost everyone was on the same page about this and we definitely have to agree with them because her mom definitely could have attended both.
