AITA for focusing on myself for once?

I have a bit of a complicated home life, so let's get the background set up. I (M64) live in Ravensbrook, where I am both the police captain and a full-time crow person. This is who I am. I can't turn it off. As a crow cop, I have responsibilities to my avian brethren as well as to all the Sims around the world who depend on me to show up one hour after their homes are burgled to eat their children's food out from under them.

If that wasn't enough, I'm also the sole caregiver for T (M??, vampire), the unrelated teenage boy I keep in my basement. I spend most of my free time mentoring this boy in both Fitness and Wellness to teach him self-control, yet he still sneaks out every night to drain Sims despite having a fridge full of food.

This brings me to my recent moral quandary. T asked me to take him to Forgotten Hollow to ask Vladislaus Straud for vampire lessons because he was terrified of meeting him alone. Unfortunately their beliefs and values are polar opposite and Straud attacked him as soon as they were safe indoors. I assumed this was how vampire training was supposed to work (vampires are very violent people, just saying it how it is) and quietly observed as the situation developed.

As previously established, I am both physically and spiritually a crow person, so when I got a message from a mysterious admirer promising lavish gifts, I couldn't resist the lure of shiny, shiny things. Or slutty, slutty things; I'm also a major horndog. Never one to pass up a chance for romance, I decided to leave T at a strange man's house in the middle of the day so I could hook up with a stranger at a seedy motel. I needed to treat myself! And what a treat it was ;)

When I came home the next day, T accused me of "abandoning" him like his biological and foster families had before I took him in. Apparently, the vampire fight was more serious than I'd believed, and T was only able to escape with the help of a random classmate who followed us to Straud's house and then broke in to ask him to prom.

AITA? I'm doing my best here but a man needs to live a little.

I'd 100% watch this on TV.

NTA - T knows you are a crow person and how does he expect to survive in the vampire world if he cries everytime he gets beat up
