I, (17 F) and my Catholic sponsor Lucy (21 F) have the same birthday, I absolutely love Lucy and I am excited that she is my sponsor in the Catholic Church. For those who don’t know, a sponsor is someone who helps you through the process of becoming a Catholic. Well anyway, my mom has arranged a dinner for us the day after our birthday so that we could celebrate and chat. Lucy’s younger brother goes to my school and is in my grade, he’s a really sweet boy and is in my class. He talks to me about volleyball and bass guitar, amongst his other interests, so we know each other pretty well. As he didn’t have anywhere else to go that night, I invited him to join us for our birthday celebration since I thought it was going to be really laid back and nobody would mind. This was my mistake. My mother got really mad at me when I came home because I told her I invited my sponsors younger brother to our dinner that night. I thought I was being nice but apparently it was impolite and not my decision because as my mother said, she was the host and got to decide who could come. I didn’t see it that way because it was a dinner for me, and Lucy’s birthday. I do understand and feel bad now because Lucy might not be comfortable with her younger brother being there, so I guess I might be the a-hole for that. I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable and it seemed like a charitable thing to do at the time. But my mom’s been passive aggressive towards me for the whole day and I’m nervous about this evening. Should I apologize?
(Ps, food is not and issue we have quite a bit of the dinner my mom made)
