Am I in the wrong here?!

So I’m driving my boyfriend and I to his parents house. I park and start to take out some bags to take inside. He does the same but once he’s inside, he forgets all about the stuff we brought and starts having a whole conversation with his folks. Leaving me outside to bring in the rest of the bags. I’m a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need any help from any man in any sort of situation. But this really pisses me right off. We come over every other weekend and he does this every. Single. TIME! And I get it, okay? I understand that he’s very family oriented and he’s excited to talk to his parents. But why can’t you just help me a little before you sit down to talk about your week to your parents? It will take a minute. 1! Then we can both go and talk to your parents, dude. The first few times he did it, I let it slide. It was irritating and unfair but I envy his relationship with his parents so I let it be just to see him that happy. But I’ve had enough. So I bring it up to him and he is so hurt. He is completely insulted. He responded very rudely to me when I was trying to explain how I felt about the situation but I think he feels as though I’m forcing him to prioritize me instead of his parents. Which is not the case. I would never do that to him and he knows it but he’s just so irrationally mad at the situation that he won’t talk to me. I don’t know how to fix this. I want to go home. Alone.
It’s not you. It’s a simple chore and the fact that he won’t talk to you for bringing it up is showing you how immature he still is. I would never do that to my spouse. If they said they wanted some help when they are there to support me with my folks, then that’s all they’d have say! I’m there helping....enough said. Even more bc it’s such a simple task. He’s butt hurt bc you called him out on his shit...it was never about the stuff and always about his apathy.

Lol next time leave all that crap there so when everyone asks where it is you can say he forgot the stuff in the car. But for real...I think he’s so hurt now that it may not happen again, but will def be awkward.

Interesting how you can figure out someone's personality through small actions like this one. I'm wondering how three people can sit down basically watching their guest carrying things and offering no help or having no interest in greeting you even! It's a simple courtesy rule. He seems immature to me for acting so hurt about something so simple, like what is he going to be like if you bring up something more serious?

Was it necessary for those bags to be brought in immediately? Was it possible at all for you to wait for him to help you? Because if they didn't have to be brought in right away, then none of this was necessary at all and you upset yourself.
