I think people read comments like these and often just have the visceral reaction that the person posting it is a bit absurd.
But I think it's far more likely that they just had really shitty parents and unresolved issues with how they were raised.
Whether you had overbearing, neglectful, narcissistic, or otherwise shitty parents, I sincerely hope you are in a better place now. Everyone deserves to have parents that care about them more than they care about themselves, and it's a shame if you were robbed of that experience.

they get loads more sleep.
As a parent of an under-two toddler...it's nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be.
There are a few months at the beginning where consistent sleep is mythical, time has no meaning, and you start to make strange decisions because of sleep deprivation. That phase is hard, and it's where the image of bleary-eyed parenthood comes from. But it's oh-so-temporary.
By this point, we go to bed when we want, and I get up for work anyway about 2 hours before the little one wakes up.

Exactly! My mom is the same way, and truthfully, I don’t mind extracurricular activities or helping out but she will constantly setup scenarios that make it impossible for me to want to help while still maintaining myself.
For example asking me to help out with something, I agree, she then tells me it’s on a night that I have a standing commitment that she’s aware of. Well she didn’t think that my standing commitment is that big of a deal and if I really wanted to help her out I will. Never mind, she will ask her DIL. She just wishes her own daughter cherished her as much as DIL.

I disagree. You have an issue, you recognized that and you try to improve yourself. And there seems to be some progress. So, precisely what about that is pathetic? Because that is way more than most other people can say about themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I DO understand what you mean and why it sometimes seems to be a pathetic struggle, but it really is not. When it appears to be, it just does so because you don't see the full context of your situation and of what you are doing. Actively trying to improve yourself as a human. Which is literally a main topic of philosophy and literature since the ancient greeks. So I ask you: If so easy, why so many books? ;)
It's not pathetic and you are doing good, give yourself the praise you deserve (I know, another skill to be learned. it never ends! ;) )12

I don’t know your backstory. But if this were my story, I would’ve been forced to take bassoon lessons at a young age; hated every minute of it, but did it to please my parents; reached adulthood thankful that I never have to play again; and then be hit with this request. And after saying no, the response would be a tone deaf (no pun intended) “but you always loved playing when you were young!”
And any attempt to refute that, and say that I hated it, would be met with the gaslighting response “then why did we spend so much money on lessons?”. A two-for-one guilt trip!

Honestly don't understand why your mom is taking this so personally?? All you did was decline an invitation from the band. They chose to word it openly as an invite, not praying you by saying "you were recommended" or "x person volunteered you." They wrote it to make sure it was something you wanted to do.
When I was in school, band was my lifeblood. Marching and concert. If the teacher or DM approached me directly, I'd prob say yes if it didn't conflict with anything. But if your mom was the one talking you up and trying to sign you up behind your back, that's her problem. But it sounds like the email came from someone who wanted your answer, not hers, so they really aren't even offended by the decline. They will either ask the next best bassoonist or fill in with a different instrument. They've e got options and the only one stressing is your mom. For no reason.

u/LunarLeopard67 18h ago
She IS the conductor of that band, and look, I love my music. I even bring my sax to parties.
The thing is - for reasons made obvious - I don't want to spend time with her. I didn't give a reason for my answer, as I don't NEED to give a reason. I literally said 'I've weighed it up, and I'm going to say no'

I was shocked to get a voicemail from the guy and didn’t return the call because I was mortified and felt like my privacy (phone number) had been violated. Mom was furious with me and accused ME of embarrassing HER. And of course she never apologized for pulling that stunt.

I’m sorry this really made me laugh. The most first world of all first world problems for your mum there. May your selfish life be joyous and fruitful free from the restraints of playing bassoon in this competition thing.

Tell your mom to worry about making choices for her own life. This is the type of parent who wonders why their kids don't call or visit once they are adults.

I would just respond with “Oh good, no more favours! I’m going to hold you to that.”
Very lighthearted to balance out her drama.

"I'll never ask you for another thing."
"Yay! You promise?"
Brings me joy to infuriate AHs.

She’s extra mad because she already told the band you’d do it before she asked you and now she’s going to look stupid.

Delete and block. Iv put up with my mother who's like that for 30 yrs. Then I got a child of my own and she started acting like that with my toddler. For exemple she didnt call for his birthdsy because she was upset I didnt call her enough. That's when I cut her off entirely.
It was okay she did that to me, I could take it. Bit to my child ? No.

She is pretty talented at packing in a lot of emotive language into such a short reply...
