i had plans to go out with friends the other night and then my mom called me to tell me she was having all our family over for dinner and i was expected to be there . i told her about my plans and she said to change my plans . she does not understand . so , did you go to her dinner , or do what you had planned ? i went to the dinner and then left a little early to go out . she was n't happy , but maybe next time she will plan better . i find that they do n't respect you until you start telling them no . that 's what i have found too . she needs to realize i am an adult .
The mother's demand to change plans and attend a family dinner without regard for the person's existing commitments.
