Am I the butthole for laughing in my mother's friend's face when she told me to go to my room?

I'm a 25, 25. Okay. I was expecting OP to be like 15 here, but okay.

OP is a 25-year-old woman, and she doesn't speak to her mother like at all.

I had to go to my mother's house today to pick up an important document that I left behind when I moved out seven years ago.

As soon as I got to the house, my mother suddenly had a massive emergency and realized that it was apparently her friend's funeral today,

and she completely forgot about it. I couldn't help but internally roll my eyes, because there's always some drama,

which is why I've gone no slash very low contact. She asked me if I would watch my two younger brothers, age 7 and 11,

while she went to the funeral, and I said absolutely not.

This is my day off. I have plans, and I have no relationship with them due to my mother stopping them from seeing me for years.

I just wanted to get my birth certificate and leave.

My mother asked her friend if she would babysit and asked me to stay for 10 minutes until her friend came.

I didn't even get the opportunity to say no before my mother left the house.

I was seething, but I resolved to wait 10 minutes.

My mother's friend turned up and started berating me for not agreeing to look after my brother as while my mother went to the funeral.

I said, I don't have anything to do with my mother. It's my day off work, and I'm under no obligation to look after anyone else's kids.
