I (22F) am the first person in my family to graduate college. I worked full-time while taking classes and honestly sacrificed a lot socially and financially just to finish my degree.

My parents organized a small family dinner after my graduation ceremony. Everything was going great until halfway through dessert when my sister (27F) suddenly stood up and announced she was pregnant.

The entire dinner immediately shifted to being about her baby. Everyone started crying, hugging her, asking about names, taking photos, etc. People literally stopped congratulating me mid-conversation to talk to her instead.

At one point my uncle accidentally handed HER my graduation card because everyone seemed to forget why we were even there.

I didn’t make a scene or say anything rude, but after about 20 minutes I quietly left because I felt hurt and honestly invisible.

The next day my mom called me selfish and dramatic for “making the night awkward” and said I should just be happy for my sister instead of wanting attention.

I am happy for her, but I also feel like she could’ve picked literally any other day to announce it instead of the one dinner meant to celebrate my graduation.

Now my family is acting like I ruined the mood by leaving early.

AITA?
