This happened about an hour ago. My brother (16) and I (19F) took our dog for a walk today to the park. Since there was no one at the park we decided to have some fun while there. I took some videos at the park, mostly of my dog chasing the zip line while my brother was on it, and of him hitting icicles off the edge of the play equipment, nothing fancy. I also took a video in front of our house before we left of my dog jumping to get said icicles, which my mother watched from the window.

Fast forward to tonight, we were watching I Love Lucy, both my parents fell asleep during the episode and woke up right at the end. My mom immediately got up to go brush her teeth and go to bed. It is important to note that she has been going to bed early recently. I remembered that I hadn’t seen the videos yet, and decided to AirPlay them to the tv. There weren’t that many, and like I said they were nothing revolutionary. There was probably about 5 minutes total of video. Anyways, i finsihed showing all the video just as my mom came back into the room. She was really upset at me for not waiting until she was done brushing her teeth to show the videos, becuase she didn’t feel included. This is obviously understandable, so I told her I could show them again and the only reason I didn’t wait was because I thought she was going to bed. She didn’t say anything and just walked upstairs.

I thought it was over, but maybe two minutes later she came back downstairs extremely upset. My dad told her she was being over dramatic, to which she said she had a right to be pissed off. Before going back upstairs she said “you guys don’t need me anyways.” I obviously felt really bad because I probably should have waited and I didn’t realize it mattered so much to her. I also didn’t really say anything or directly apologize when she came back down.

So yeah, I just wanted an objective opinion. Am I the asshole for not waiting to show the videos, or even for not properly apologizing?
