I never thought I would be making a post like this since I've always been a spectator than a participant but this has made me feel a bit conflicted.

I F16 live in the philippines and just had my moving up ceremony yesterday. The ceremony took quite a while to finnish around 3 hours at least. My parents did come to walk me up the stage since it is expected but when my mom saw my dad was there she was like "You do it" and moved away.

This didn't bother me she probably had her reasons and although it was technically okay to have both parents up on the stage she refused since my aunt who was a head teacher at my school was also there and she though that if she came up it would be too crowded and I guess she didn't want the attention.

Anyways after that I returned to my seat and waited for the program to end because we weren't allowed to go home yet because well manners. When the program did end I looked around for my parents but they weren't there, I even went outside to check if my dad was out waiting but no one was there.

I was a bit dissapointed because I was hoping to grab a snack perhaps with them but since they weren't there I thought might as well go home.

Now to be fair I didn't expect too much from my dad he didn't really care about these stuff it was mom I was shocked about. Usually she asks to have a photo with me but she just left. I was tired at that point and already a bit upset that they just left without saying a word that even though I could've walked to mom's workplace and ask her I just went home.

I kept telling my self maybe they were busy and we'll prolly talk about it later at home but they didn't. I went home and scrolled through tiktok trying to distract my self. It was around 7 when I came down to have dinner I asked dad who was washing the dishes whats for dinner and he replied casually thaf it was in the pan, when I asked where mom was he said she was at grandma's and I didn't ask further. I had dinner alone that night but I wasn't that upset anymore. I told myself I'm too old to be upset over something tiny as that so i just never brought it up.

The one who brought it up in fact was my mom this morning, she was upset that I didn't drop by her workplace sk thag we could've taken a photo together which was understandable yes but it was her tone that upset me. It was like I wronged her! I can't read minds! She didn't tell nor contact me so how was I supposed to know! Worst part she said "I didn't care".

I do care, I care a lot. But what do you think? AITAH?
