For the past 3 years, I enjoyed visiting my Mom’s friend’s house because I would get about 100 dollars worth of Red Packets (traditional red envelopes that contain money, given during Chinese New Year) and there’d be some gambling involved. This year, my mom informed me last minute that they decided there won’t be any Red Packets this year. I was bummed but I still thought the right thing to do was to show up with food at least. Then I’d leave earlier to meet a friend of mine. But my mom insists that I stay longer and gamble until the end. I told her I already made plans and she replied, “oh so you’re just coming for the money and thats it?”

Im not gonna lie, the Red Packets were a huge reason why I came every year and I told her that. She didn’t reply me after that. So AITA?
