Am I a scumbag

Tonight is my mom's 50th birthday surprise party and i really do not want to go.
My dad attempted to persuade me into going by putting me on a guilt trip, telling me I'll regret this for the rest of my life and that he's "not going to invest in me." He said I'm going to be showing my family and mother that I'm "not a caring person."
Am I a scumbag if I don't show?

no, youre not. i mean, who the fuck wants to go to that. the thing is, you need to push aside your scumbag feelings for one night and do this for your mom. its a big night for her. fucking menopause and all. be there for your mom. not yourself.

You should go. If you dont go just because you'd rather go out with your bros or something, then yes. You are in fact a scumbag. She's your mom FFS, even if you dont like your mom, you should go. I'm guessing it'd mean a lot to her.

Go. She's your mom. Remember? The same woman who carried you in her body for 9 months and gave painful birth to you. Later she changed your diapers, taught you to walk, put up with all your shenanigans yet still loved you unconditionally. You owe that woman a lot. The least you could do is attend her birthday party. She would do the same for you, no matter the inconvenience. Besides, she won't be with you forever. Cherish your mom while you still have her. It's the least you could do..

This is all bollocks.
A birthday is completely imaginary. So what if he doesn't go? Why is everyone in this thread pressuring him to fall into line with imaginary expectations?
You can still love your mother and be the best person in the world. If you show that to each then you've had a good loving relationship.
I think anyone that judges based on some imaginary shit on 1 day of the year is completely out of context with reality. If your parents think that then they are well brainwashed and thats unfortunate. I don't know OPs reasoning - it could be good or bad but theres no reason to judge and everyone say he must go or be branded a scumbag.

Because unless he has some valid reason (obscene hatred, high on mushrooms, restraining order...) because It's his mother, an essential part of his personal Myth and reason for being around. Wouldn't you want to just be there for her on this milestone day, even just showing up might make her happy.
Whatever happened to honor thy mother and father? Respect your elders? Honor those who have come before you? Etc..
My mother passed away when I was just a young boy, nineteen years ago, and it makes me sad when I see people taking their mother for granted. Don't get me wrong, some mothers can be hateful bitches, it happens. But I can't help but want him to enjoy it all anyways.
Much love and all that jazz.

I think if his mother and father judge him on that then they are misguided as well. I just have no respect for pressurized social expectations that have no basis in reality.
I feel the same about Xmas - its utter bollocks - nobody today has even bothered to learn where the tradition comes from hence the complete commercial perversion of it.
I get your point man and I agree - I just don't agree with the logic set thats been put here about being a scum bag or bad son for not falling into line like a good lemming over a fictitious concept that doesn't actually judge how good a person or son he is at all.

A celebration on a particular day is a fictional concept. She has been brought up to believe that he should come and bring her a present or whatever else expectations they have but thats all it is. A belief.
I don't accept beliefs just because everyone else does.
I'm sure he probably should go for the sake of his mum but there are other possibilities here and I'm a firm believer that people should not to be forced to adhere to social expectations that are fictional. I don't see this in a dualistic way or believe that the only possibility is "go or be a scumbag". What irks me more is how everyone in this thread jumped straight into that dualistic mindset and on the social pressure bandwagon with no information on why he didn't want to go.

There's a fatal flaw in your reasoning. Yes, a birthday is an arbitrarily chosen festivity. But human expectations are anything but fictional.
OP: If you want to hurt other peoples' feelings, go ahead. But it does make you a dickhead. Or a scumbag.
I wish my mom had lived for me to make this decision. And let me tell you one thing: I would have attended. Plenty of other nights I can selfishly stay at home and blaze all night.

you should be there in spite of the fact that your dad is a dick. Trying to guilt me into doing anything is just more insurance that I won't. Go and discreetly take your dad aside and tell him he was being an asshole.

No, I was wrong, asshole would be the correct term, scumbags overstep moral issues for personal gain, it's somewhat understandable, assholes on the other hand...
But seriously, why don't you want to go? Do you have anything better to do? Do you hate her for whatever reason? Or are you indeed just an asshole, and can't be fucked to? Make her happy man if it means so much to her, and it no bother to you.

You can still love your mother and be the best person in the world. If you show that to each then you've had a good loving relationship.
I think anyone that judges based on some imaginary shit on 1 day of the year is completely out of context with reality. If your parents think that then they are well brainwashed and thats unfortunate. I don't know OPs reasoning - it could be good or bad but theres no reason to judge and everyone say he must go or be branded a scumbag.
Go. Live. With. The. Wolves! Go NOW!!!

Yes, OP, you are a scumbag.
Your parent's provide a roof over your head and raise you, the least you could do is show up.
Fictional or not, the point is that the event means a lot to his mom. Showing up for a few hours is the very least an ungreatful child could do.

Scientology is real too ya know? It must be if an imaginary creation of the human mind is a physical construct to you. Time is not real, dates are not real, birthday celebrations are something we do based on a fictional belief set. If you raised a child without creating this fiction in their head then the concept of a yearly birthday celebration would not exist.
IMO op could be the best son in the world and not want to go to this event because its pretentious. Nothing wrong with that. You only see it as wrong because you buy into the fiction and result with the dualist mindset the majority have presented here.
Now, I'm off to live with the wolfs

Just cuz it would more than likely hurt his moms feelings and he probably knows that so it would be kinda shitty if he didnt show up. Like others said tho OP if your mom is a nagging bitch and you dont have a good relationship then its not anything to worry about but if you and your mom get along well and she is a good mom I would show up just for a bit.

But if you raise a child in a society where birthdays are celebrated and the kid gets used to getting some special treatment on his birthday, then he'll expect that treatment every year. The whole birthday concept may still be fictional, but the fact that a human being has an expectation is everything but fictional. If you don't get this, you'll probably never grasp what I'm talking about. Which would be your loss. And the wolves'.

How would you feel if your mom died the day after her 50th birthday?
I try my best to show love to people whenever I see them because you never know what might happen. Some people's lives are so routine that they forget this, that only means that it's that much more of a jarring shock when it happens.

The only person at a loss are the ones who believe in the fictional concept. If you see it for what it is then you can't lose anything because you realise it doesn't matter if the son comes to your birthday party or not and that this one action is not a reasonable thing to judge a person as "scumbag or good son" on.

People mean a lot to other people. As such,celebrating their existence once a year is a nice thing to do. Your own mother especially.

No, it's your loss, because I get a present and get to spend quality time with my friends, while you're still wondering if wolves have birthdays...

If your mom's a cunt that hasn't contributed to any of your well being of positive energy, I'd say fuck it.. If it's the opposite and she's a decent person and a typical mother.. I'd definitely go.. Yes you'd be a bit of a douchebag not to... And forealz dude.. Are they prudes or what?? There's gotta be a chance of free food and booze..

People waiting for the day they feel good, happy birthday, happy birthday.
Kinda sad that people have to have a special day to tell them to visit and respect a family member. All it really says to me is how destroyed the family unit has become by the system of modern living thats been forced upon us.

You sound like everybody forgot your birthday in the past or something.
How is it a fictional concept though? It was the day you were born, a day that only comes once a year, and an excuse to get hammered with your friends and have a great time. Just because it's a normal day for you, and you obviously don't care about others' feelings, doesn't mean OP's mom wouldnt find it disrespectful for her own son to not show up to her special day.
You can say that the days of the week are fictional concepts and serve no purpose as well. But you can also live a boring-ass life living day to day never celebrating any holidays, and ultimately wind up as a depressed old man looking back at the good times he could have had. Life is about enjoying yourself, not about being an overly analytical, uncaring individual like yourself.
