Everyone wants respect from their parents, especially when they become adults.

So a woman felt especially weird about visiting her mom and getting scolded because she forgot to wash a dish.

They argued, but her mom still thinks she did something wrong that deserves being called out.

What would you do in a similar situation?

AITA for not watching my dish?

I (26f) am visiting my mom out of state.

In her house after dinner, everyone washes their own dish.

(I also want to add that this household is not a neat freak household. We all clean, but no one here is necessarily and neat freak.)

My mother and her husband washed their dish before going to bed and she asked me to do the same.

I of course said that I would.

I got caught up in what I was doing and I forgot. Whoops.

But she would be made to regret this soon.

My mother was already at work when I woke up.

I realized my mistake in the morning and washed it was it immediately.

Problem solved. Or so I thought.

Later on in the evening, my mom and I get into an argument over the dish as she saw it before going to work.

They actually argued about this.

A lot of our argument was repeating the same points going back-and-forth with one another until I saw that it just wasn’t going anywhere so I simply just stopped arguing and for the peace of the rest of the family, I walked upstairs.

I just don’t see why needs to be the hill that she dies on.

Or why she wants to start an argument over something that was already solved. I don’t think it’s a big deal.

You just clean it and move on.

Here is an also another side of note. She has also been known to do the same in the past.

I feel like I should have might as well, not washed it at all because I would be yelled at regardless.

AITA?

Turning small issues (or non issues) into problems is just bad math.

How does Reddit feel about this?

A commenter shares their POV.

It’s sad to see.

Yup.

It doesn’t make sense.

Another reader shares their thoughts.

Exactly.

Her mom needs to set her priorities straight.
