I’m refusing to attend my brother’s supposedly “COVID-safe” wedding. My mother is crying. I’m trying to be comforting without backing down, but I just I want to ask her what the fuck is wrong with her. Why is this so important? Why is one person’s absence from another person’s wedding something she can’t handle? Why is it my job to control her emotions for her? Why are all these social conventions things she thinks will make me a ”real adult,” when I think they make her more childish?

I didn't know we shared brothers. :P

(Except our bro's ain't safe at all. He's been playing team sports through the whole pandemic, long before there were vaccines.)

Wait, aren't you in a higher risk group anyway? I mean, you'd have full right to say no anyway, but if getting sick would be even MORE disastrous for you...

O_o wtf ain't her wedding.

Mori

EDIT: maybe this is her realizing just how much the pandemic is changing everyone's lives and she's mad about it but can't really express it so she's blaming the messenger instead?

...huh. That makes a lot of sense, and you saying that also explains a lot of how my own mother behaves, even though her culture was US, not Mexico.
