Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So sorry it’s long! 

So my mum asked if I wanted to come with her and my sister (she has additional needs) to see Mary Poppins. I wasn’t that interested in the movie but a day out sounded nice as I just quit my job. 

My parents have said to me they don’t have that much money right now because of Christmas so I said I will pay for the movie for the three of us. 

I just bought my mum and sister a drink each and mum said we should get popcorn that was in this Mary Poppins bowl (this bowl was $20). 

I said okay because it was cute and I was being nice, I said to her let’s split it $10 each because honestly I didn’t see a problem with this. She said yes that’s reasonable. I also bought lunch for her and my sister. 

After the movie we go to Kmart because my mum wanted some clips for her hair. When we got there she picked some out ($4) she then said she needed to go to the Apple store really quick because she needed to get her iPad fixed and asked me to line up with my sister. She asked if she wanted me to give her the $4 which I said yes I did. 

So she gave me the money and left. I paid and went to another store and found these cute Christmas decor that was on sale 60% off. I wasn’t sure about a few of them so I took pictures and sent them to her. 

I was waiting in the car when she rang and said I should get all the Christmas decor I had sent her. I asked because she was in the shops if she could get them and I will transfer the money right now. She said she will have to use her credit card and I said okay. 

She got back to the car with the bags by the look on her face I knew she was angry. She opened the door and said “oh no the parking fee” I told her I’ll pay and got my wallet out. (Side note: when I was in the car scrolling I found this Christmas lights thing and it was 7 minutes away from this shopping centre and it was only $15, I had $14 in cash). I was in the middle of asking her if she had any cash/coins on her when she closed the door with me in mid sentence. I was shocked but whatever. She came back angrier and I asked how much it was, it was $17.50. I said oh I’ll transfer the money that’s a lot. She said back why bother and she was disappointed in me. 

To cut a long story short we had a massive fight in the car with me telling her she was yelling like a child and her telling me I’m a disgrace and it’s my fault she can’t say no to me! She was mad because she had to pay for $10 for the popcorn and the $4 for the clips.I told her that makes no sense and she then just started screaming so I ignored her the rest of the way home. 

When we got home I told my dad and he said I should not have asked to go half with the popcorn as they are short on money. My answer was to say why did she say yes to buying it then? Mum cut in and said because she can’t say no to me because I’m a brat. 

I’m very disappointed in them and have cried for the last hour. I feel she is angry in general about having no money and took it out on me. Am I an asshole for all of this?
