Ever been embarrassed by your parents?

Not to encourage disrespect for one's parents, which I believe one should be grateful to: There are simply some things one's parents do that one cannot help feeling embarrassed about. I will tell you my stories, you tell me yours.

1: I grew-up with my mother who thought that homosexual Scientologists were trying to take-over-the-world with subliminal sexual messages; one day, she thought a member of the "underground" gave her an "indication" to switch identities with said member. My mother stole the person's belongings out of a laundry room at our apartment (and left the "contact" her belongings)...unfortunately she was caught. Other things mum did which made feel a tad embarrassed included using racial slurs in public, especially against Mexican-Americans.

2: My mother was eventually judged incompetent my a court-of-law, and I was given over to my father for custody. I spent the rest of my childhood with him. The thing he did that most embarrassed me was telling my cousin (a female teenager who was a few years older than myself) that I though Stalin was a great leader (I never said this, but my father apparently figured I felt that way because I read Machiavelli)--my cousin has not spoken to me since. Another thing my old man did which made me hide my face was saying (in front of someone else) how great Genghis Khan was, because Genghis Khan had no trouble killing women, and he knew they were only good for "carrying baskets and making babies".

So, once again, does anyone have any stories to share about being an enbarassed teenager?

Haha, that is brilliant humour.

I can't think of any stories myself. It's all the small things they do that makes me feel embarrassed every time I see them. Speaking to your mates regarding what you did when you were a baby and things like that.

I find the older I get, the less my parents embarrass me and the more they amuse me. For example, once I hit 19, I found them to actually be kinda fun to hang around at times. Now, being 21, I can drink in their presence and with them. Which is lulz.

He was dead serious, I shit you not; luckily, the man he was saying it to was a bit slow--a hick-of-a-fellow who just agrees with anything said by someone he likes.

It's hard to embarrass me as an adult. As a child my parents did many things to embarrass me, my mother is mentally ill and my father was a drug addict so often they would come to school and do things that were quite weird and embarrassing.

I'm sure I embarrass my kids in a completely different way though.

We are all of us mad, teenagers especially; my views were very cocked-up back then, though I suppose not as strange my parents. :tongue:

having a mentally unstable parent makes it very hard to trust what you think about the world. you are left to sort it out for yourself when you are far too young to do so. the rest of us get to rely on our parents to have a solid grip on reality that they can use to guide us until we can do it ourselves.

I don't really think they've ever done anything to embarrass me enough for me to care. Meet the girlfriend and tell bad stores? Done that, even reminded them of a few of the details of the stories. That was probably the "worst" of the embarrassing things, and I was too busy having fun to be embarrassed.

I'd rather just joke around with dad about how "amazingly intelligent and sophisticated" the Republicans are in Alabama. ;)

My mom is an avid listener of Korn, Slipknot, and Nine Inch Nails. She also owns a copy of every CD Weezer ever released.


I am not easy to embarrass usually but the one glaring moment in my life that i will remember forever is when I was living with a lover and my mom walked in on her and me during a quicky.

In my case, its only ever been the other way around, with me embarrasing them, usually by random screaming fit and storming off in public place. They don't dare embarass me. They don't need to. I'm quite capable of doing that myself.

I'm 12 years old. I finish up taking a shower one evening and I'm heading to my room with a towel wrapped around my waist. Had to use my parent's shower as Dad was remodeling ours. On the way to my bedroom I pass thru the living room where I find my mom sitting with her sister and her daughter, who is 18 at the time.

Not a big deal. I've got a towel. I say hi or something and continue towards my room when my aunt makes a comment about how much I'm growing. My mom then says something that makes the blood in my veins turn to ice.

"He's even getting pubic hair now. Aren't you, honey?"

My aunt, being cruel and evil like most women (joke, it's a joke I swear) says, "Come and show us!" Then my cousin and my mom pick it up and ask too.

Well I hightailed it to my room followed by their laughter and wouldn't come out until I was fully dressed, which just made my mom start laughing again, as I was supposed to be getting ready for bed, which usually meant underwear and a t-shirt and instead I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt and had even put on my shoes.

I had to be ready to run again.

Challenge taken.

So I bring my girlfriend, who comes from a rather conservative background where nudity of (adult) family members is unheard of, to meet my parents. We sit in the living room and have an idle chat. Inexplicably, the topic makes a U-turn and changes to whether or not my father has hair on his scrotum (no, I kid you not). My insistence that maybe we should not discuss that right now was futile, and it was all I could do to make my parents take the actual examination of the evidence to their bedroom (from where they re-emerged a few minutes later, my mother gloatingly announcing that she had been right and my father's got hairy balls after all).

I've also taken to asking my mother to put on some pants when I have guests when I was about 17.

That is almost worse than getting walked in on during that special moment. My mom avoided the couch like the plague the whole time she was there...

I think getting walked in on is much worse. I've always feared it'd happen one day because a) the doors in my parents' house don't have locks/keys and b) my parents oppose the tradition of knocking and c) they are incredibly nosey, the "Oh, you're talking on the (stationary) phone? I better go dust the shelves in the living room RIGHT NOW!" or "Oh, so you just closed the door behind yourself and your friend? I better grab something (milk, cookies, apples, water/limo, whatever) and offer it to you (not knocking, of course)!" type.

Somehow, they never did have anything to bring into my room when certain things were taking place. Wonder whether they eavesdrop before coming in.

It still gets brought up in normal conversation... "Hey remember that time that you and Jessica..." that's the most embarrassing part; they do it in front of women I am dating.

My father was a blowhard braggart who was always trying to one-up everyone - of course, he embarrassed me. He also hit on my friends.

My mother constantly found fault with me - my clothes, my weight, my grooming - in front of my friends and hers - of course, she embarrassed me.

My children claim that I embarrass them all the time - apparently I'm too friendly. They get their revenge, though, in ways I never could with my parents, by embarrassing me - my daughter by losing her temper with strangers and loudly and obscenely detailing their faults and foibles. My son has this gift with which he embarrasses me constantly - he can walk into a room full of hundreds of strangers, immediately hit on the one remark calculated to offend all of them and make it loudly enough for all to hear, but not so loudly that they can locate the source.

My dad has this habit of walking around the house in briefs after taking a shower. I became immune to the sight early on. My mother was no better. It wasn't a bad thing until I brought home a guy with me (who would later become my husband) in order to chill. So we walk into the apartment and I walk ahead to my room, and in the hallway, the guy encounters my dad who's in his undies. That's how my dad met my boyfriend (now husband).... Worse part was this was told by my dad at the wedding reception. He had wanted to give a little speech so I let him, and this became part of that speech...

Huh? I have a vague notion that you might refer to menstruation, but other than that, I have no real clue what you might be talking about. I might even want things to stay that way.

All I feel like saying is that I've had my share of lesbian sex, and blood has never played any major part in it. Like, pretty much none.

I was once discussing this exact topic with some friends a few years ago. I mused that my parents had never done anything particularly embarrassing. My dad suddenly appeared from nowhere and said 'Until now!' and started dancing.

About a year later he got drunk and nearly walked into a room full of young teenagers wearing only a T-shirt before I stopped him, carefully led him back to his bed, and got him a sick-bowl. Good times.

[goes into a corner to cringe and die with embarrasment] And then there are all those times Mum called out to me from the other side of the street when I was with friends. There's loads more minor things they did to permanently scar me but that's about all I can think of now.

My dad was a pastor, so we often lived in the parsonage houses right next door to the church. When parishoners would come to drop things off, flowers for the altart, piano music etc, they would drop by unannounced. I distinctly remember my father standing on our porch in those OLD 70s style gym shorts? the REALLY short ones? talking to a staid matron of the church for about a half an hour, when he came in my brother pointed out to him, in front of me that his balls had been hanging out the left leg of his shorts THE WHOLE TIME. I don't know who was more embarassed.

This same man, who I love dearly, took me and my bestfriend across the state when we were moving to a new church and on the way while at a McDonald's he let one RIP, it vibrated so loudly on the plastic booth seats that I swear all conversation stopped in the resteraunt. He then looks at me feigning total shock and says "JOANNA!!!!" as though I DID it! the worst part was that the group of hot guys who had been behind us most of the trip and who I and my friend had been flirting with shamelessly through the back windows were in the aisle across from us! I was so surprised all I could do was sputter!


My Mom took us to the mall one day and right in the entryway in front of a group of kids from my highschool she stopped and PICKED A Veggie! (Frontal wedgie?) yeah mortified.
She has also been known to walk around naked and flash several friends. I think she even flashed my husband once because she goes to the restroom with the door open all the time.

My Mom took us to the mall one day and right in the entryway in front of a group of kids from my highschool she stopped and PICKED A Veggie! (Frontal wedgie?) yeah mortified.
She has also been known to walk around naked and flash several friends. I think she even flashed my husband once because she goes to the restroom with the door open all the time.

Holy shit, I'm actually crying from laughing at that so hard.:D:fluffle:

I don't recall ever being embarrassed by my parents. There isn't a person on Earth who didn't hate my stepfather so we rarely had visitors at home. I got my first job when I was 14 so I was rarely around the house from then until I graduated if I could help it.

Oh, my mother is the queen of intentional embarrassment.

I was about 16 years old, I had been with my then boyfriend about 10 months. He was sleeping over a weekend and one morning we just had spontaneous sex. Somehow my mother KNEW we had this spontaneous sex, so when me and my ex boyfriend went downstairs for breakfast my mom went in for the kill.

"Hi Stephen," she said with shifty eyes. I said "Um, hi Mom..." and she says "You guys had sex, didn't you?" and I just totally and utterly deny it. "Uh, no," but she wasn't buying it. She turns to my ex-boyfriend and says "Keith, you and Stephen had sex, didn't you? You're both sweaty," and he's just red-faced and looks at me to respond. I thought, to hell with it, and told her flat out, "Yes," and she kept going "So, who did who? How did it feel? Was it your first time? ..." etc.

Quite possibly the most awkward breakfast ever...

Take all the negative aspects of every Troll on NS, toss in alcoholism, and stir in an IQ of about 80 and thats what you get.

So what's the problem? you guys should get on like a house on fire.:D
I never understood why house on fire refers to being able to chat to other people, surely it has the opposite effect?

heh like peas in a pod, i'm sure you can use the multi-quote tool on him to bring his arguments into dust, or fluffle him to death.

So I'm at one of my RSP drill weekends for the national guard (it's like pre-basic training for people who haven't shipped yet), and I didn't have a car at the time. No problem, my parents would pick me up. Well, we're running late, and the entire company is standing in formation when I see my parents start down the hill towards where we are. As Platoon Guide, I stand in front of my platoon and face them, so for the moment I was the only one who saw them, and I start to shake my head and hope they get the message.

Of course they didn't, and the First Sergeant sees them. He then proceeds to walk over to them and pull them to the front of the formation.
"Privates, behind every good soldier is a good family. Let's give a round of applause for the parents of Private XXX in first platoon."

Of course I have. It's karma for all the times I mortified them, either in public or when company was over.

It's basically the circle of life.

Actually, the funniest embarrassing moment was courtesy of my brother.

A male friend and I were sitting in the dining room chatting when my brother came in from work. He said hi to both of us, and went to his room.

The doorbell rang, and it was a girl he was going out with that evening. We let her in, I offered her a soda, and we all sat down in the dining room again.

My brother comes down the stairs, still in the same shirt he had been wearing when he came in, but now only wearing his tighty whities on the bottom -- strolls through the dining room on his way down to the laundry room in the basement, completely missing the fact that his date was sitting at the table, with me and my friend. I think my jaw about hit the table.

I hear him coming back up the stairs, thinking "surely he MUST have slacks on now!" but.... no. He stops in the middle of the dining room with this look of irritation and grievance on his face and announces to me, as if I am the only person in the room, "I can't find my pants!" For all I know, as far as he knew in his state of befuddlement, he may have thought I WAS the only one there.

Now I am fully mortified to be even related by species to this... person... and I yell at him, "Well for God's sake, you had them on when you came in here -- how the hell could you lose between here, your room, and the bathroom!?"

At this point his date just put her head down on the table and started laughing so hard I thought she was going to pass out.
