AITAH for embarrassing my mom for at my gran’s 90th birthday

This past Saturday was my gran’s 90th birthday. It was a full family event and ended up being about a 12+ hour day of prep, catering, setup and serving.

This is where it gets interesting…

I’m also currently pet sitting for my godmother, looking after two dogs and a cat. They roam freely in the house and have a fenced garden. I had arranged for someone I trust to check on them during the party so I wouldn’t need to worry.

My aunt always runs these things and spent most of the day speaking to me in a very condescending way, even calling me “useless” multiple times while we were prepping.

While helping all day, I had one beer and only drank about half of it over two hours.

She was already being a bit unreasonable…

My mom immediately warned me not to drink too much. Later, once I was finally done helping and had already missed the speeches and most of the food, I had three glasses of wine over four hours.

Mom pulled me aside and told me I had to come home with her. I was planning to leave with my brother and his fiancée since they were packing up and we would be leaving soon anyway.

She said she was worried about the dogs. I explained they’d been checked on and were fine, and that we’d be leaving shortly.

She then went on about my godmother being her friend and I better not mess things up for her. I replied that she is also my godmother, so I obviously wouldn’t do anything to ruin that relationship either.

UH OH…

Afterwards she called someone to have a conversation. After that person left, she turned to me saying, “You’re so drunk. You’re slurring your words. You’re an embarrassment to me.”

I was not drunk.

It was three glasses of wine over four hours. I do not slur my words when I drink, I do have a slightly lazy eye. If I had truly been slurring and embarrassing, I don’t understand why she call someone over in the first place.

At that point I was completely done.

I had been criticized all day, from being called useless, to my food I’d spent hours on being nitpicked, to now apparently being drunk and humiliating her. I went to sit on the lawn outside and ordered an Uber because I did not want to get into a car with her.

That’s INSANE!

While I was outside, I saw her walk over to my brother, his fiancée and my dad. Even from a distance I could hear her telling them I was drunk and embarrassing.

My SIL defended me and joked that she would probably be slurring in her wedding dress soon. My brother also tried to defend me saying I wasn’t.

That was my breaking point. I could feel I was about to burst into tears and went inside to not make a scene, I ended up crying anyway.

My brother followed me and sat with me while my SIL grabbed my things so I could leave without having to interact with anyone.

That’s horrible!

This kind of criticism has been constant for years, I can’t remember the last time I left a family gathering without crying or feeling terrible about myself.

Was I the AH for drinking at my gran’s party and embarrassing my mom?

GEEZ! That sounds so annoying!

Why would the mother ruin the night for everyone like that?
