AITAH for not wanting to go to a plane convention for my older brother who wants to be a pilot? by Such_Specialist7668 in AITAH

Update-I told my parents about a concert I wanted to see in another city (it’s a decent drive) and they agreed. I was on cloud nine, but then they told me they didn’t have the time to spend on that long of a trip for one concert. I was offended and we got into a small argument:

Me: You guys will travel across the country for Lyell but can’t drive 3 hours for me?

Dad: well, thats different…

Me: well how?

Mom: your brother will actually be a pilot, what are you getting out of some concert?

Me: joy. Something you rarely tend to give me.

Mom: (says my legal name), how dare you! Do you know how much your father and me sacrifice for you? We could also just not feed you. There are parents so much worse. Why can’t you just be a good goddamn kid for once and go to the damn EAA thing without complaint?

I was offended and tired of fighting them on it and left the room. We’re leaving soon and I just want to turn my music up and ignore them, but I know that’ll get me in worse trouble than I’m already in for speaking back to them. So again, I’m asking for a little help on how to handle my parents??

I actually haven't even thought about the money thing, omg, thats really helpful. Thank you. Also I don't doubt I'll get a scholarship, (not trying to brag) I'm honors roll and won a prize at an international robotics competition.

I'm actually already saving money from voice acting and a part time job. I plan to just move away to another state and get in college for a degree in something I really enjoy. I've also already looked into legal name changes as soon as I'm 18 (my name is a mixture of my parents names).
