Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Every single time my mum has friends over she talks to them about how great a pianist I am and insists that I play her favourite song (interstellar theme) for her and her company. At first I thought it was sweet that she was proud of me so I happily played, however recently it feels like she has an ulterior motif. 

Instead of enjoying the music itself it feels like my mother just wants to flaunt me in front of her friends. I feel used in the sense that mum puts me up on a pedestal as if to say ‘look at what my son can do, what can your children do’. The main reason I feel this way is because she rarely asks me to play when nobody else is around and the parading manner in which she talks about me feels gross. 

So tonight, I got home late from university, was pretty tired and didn’t really feel like appeasing her by playing for her company. She playfully requested for me to play multiple times to which I politely declined, multiple times, until I just straight up ignored her request and continued to walk to my room. Feel kinda guilty, she was pretty upset. AITA?
