Yesterday, while we were eating dinner, my mom said that we should all go to my aunt's wedding. But then I replied, "I wouldn't go." After I said that, my mom said that I really have a bad attitude and that I don't know how to deal with our relatives. So I agreed and said, "Yes, I'm bad, I really am." And after that, until now, we don't even talk. I'm like a ghost in our house to her. What's so wrong if I wouldn't go to my aunt's wedding?
I don't like being a like a "ghost" in the house. But I don't want to talk to her either. I don't see anything wrong if I can't go there. I have other plans.

Is there a problem with not wanting to go to a wedding? I've never seen it... if you are not close to the people getting married then why subject yourself? and your mother should accept that... also people just dont like weddings... you should sit down and talk to her quietly and calmly and tell her that she makes you feel like a ghost... maybe if you tell her why you wont go then she'll stop

i agree. there's nothing wrong with not going. but she then said i really have a bad attitude. I just don't like being with my relatives so much because they always compare me to my other cousins and I really hate it. I don't know with my mom. She wouldn't talk to me, she wouldn't even ask me to join dinner or lunch.

Maybe she's just overreacting and soon she'll notice that. My mom is just the same. She often has moments when she gets mad and we fight and we don't talk for days (once we haven't talked for a month) because of stupid things.
I admit, I may be overreacting too, ok, but the way she says and does things just makes me so mad...
Maybe I'm not the best person to give you advice, but, let her calm down and afterwards it will come all by itself. You'll see that after this sandstorm passes, you'll definitely forget about it and you won't be feeling like a "ghost" anymore.
Have patience!

Your mom is like my mom. I don't like the way she says things to me too. I feel like I'm the most evil person for her. And I feel like I'm to be blamed for everything. I don't like being like a "ghost" but sometimes I prefer it rather than talking to her because she always gets mad even though I didn't do anything.

i think there's nothing wrong about not wanting to go. if you dont feel like it you shouldnt, other wise, you might spoil the day because you're not really up to it.
but from where im from, if you're relative invited you to go to their wedding, you should go unless you have a good reason of not going. its kind of a form of respect here. and its also a way of saying that you've wished them good luck and happiness.
