'My parents missed my important event': Parents choose air show over daughter's celebrity contest win, family friend calls them out

These parents are missing out on their kid's special day because "they paid for the [airshow] tickets already, otherwise they would come." 

When you've been in the same situation for long enough, sometimes you just get used to the relationship's dynamics. This person, u/ComfortableMess3145, knows that very well: their parents never seem to prioritize them over doing things they want to do. For example, they recently missed a big event in their kid's life, just because they wanted to see an airshow. Those are cool, don't get me wrong. But should it really take priority over watching your kid receive a prestigious celebrity award? 

Well, one family friend found out about this and flipped out. It's made this person realize that their parents haven't been caring about their event for quite some time (including their wedding!). Commenters also showed up to support this person, telling them that they did nothing wrong. You'll have to check out the full story plus comments below to see if this person is doing the right thing, or if the family friend went too far. 

Up next, read about the bride who found the dress of her dreams, but since her mom finds it "childish and embarrassing," she's now second-guessing herself!
