I skipped my mothers dance recital to hang out with friends
Why did you choose your friends over your mother?
My friends are more important to me than my mother
It's okay to choose to be with your friends rather than with your family from time to time, but this was a special event for your mother, and she was expecting you to be there.  You should not abandon commitments that you have made to family members, even if another opportunity pops up later.
Whatever, I'm going to have a drink.
Your mother have raised you and helped you what you are today so I feel like you're being inconsiderate if you don't prioritize your mother. If you can do so as soon as you can, try to apologize to her, and see if she has a video of her performance and watch it with her.
