My mother is more of a kid than I am. She makes terribly unfunny jokes in public, usually about other people, and then ends up giggling to herself while I look on and shake my head.

My aunt did something incredibly embarrassing when I was a teenager. I came to school with her (she's a teacher) on bring-your-daughter-to-work day and she introduced me to one of her male co-workers (to this day, the most gorgeous man I've ever met). When he shook my hand, I felt my whole face flushed and my aunt said "What's wrong, Jackie? You're turning red. Are you okay? Are you embarrassed or something?" The man just smiled. It was horrifying. I was probably 15 or 16.

**felt my whole face flush

My mother also had the habit of reading all of my journals. I was often confronted with things like "So you've tried pot...?" and "So you slept with him?" She would bring up these things out of nowhere and I would be caught off guard.

Terribly embarrassing.

(Keeping it totally real + plus you don't know me personally so that helps - quite honestly)

Hummm -- where do I start -- oh how about this one: When I was in like 5th grade my mother hog tied, bound and gaged me and basically beat my @ss for getting D's & F's on my report card and hiding it. (today - she'd be in jail)

Then on her 40th birthday she (got drunk &) told the whole family and various other people all about it -- like she was a hero.

I will never get over this. Not ever!

My mother, who made my clothes, announced to the whole assembly at a 50th wedding anniversary party for my grandparents, that I had the perfect measurements 34-24-34. I was totally mortified.

wow, just one thing? well when i was 15 i had a huge crush on this guy that was a skate guard at the rink i figure skated at. he did these one arm pull ups on the piece that connected the rental skate area. made me swoon! anyway, my mother hated him because he was poor and "going no where". she and my dad both said things to him to discourage him from even being civil to me which was bad enough. but here is the kicker. one day my mom took me to an expensive jewelry store and asked me which engagement ring i liked best. i picked out a ring that was about 3 carats and she asked that it be taken out so i could try it on. i did and then she asked if i liked it. of course i did! "good. take it off." i was like "what"? from that moment and the whole drive home she went on and on about how if i ever wanted a ring like that john would never do and i should just forget about him.

did i mention that john wouldn't have given me a second look in a million years? he was so far out of my league that it was pathetic. believe it or not my mother STILL TELLS THAT STORY! also acting as if she is the hero or something (common theme here unfortunately). she sound like such a b*tch every time and yet i can tell that she thinks it's a fabulous story of how she "saved" me from my self with a bad choice in a man.

This is really embarrassing because it happened, like, a year ago. We were absolutely hammered by this mega-storm and the streets were flooded...we're talking ankle-deep in some places. The storm was so bad they had to shut down an entire mall during business hours to get rid of all the water. The storm drains were flooded over. It was wild.

So I'm in an appointment with my boss at work, restraining an animal for him...and when the exam is over, the receptionist comes up to me and says, "your mom called while you were in there; she said could I please tell you to be careful driving home."

I. Was. MORTIFIED. So embarrassed beyond belief, my face was burning for the rest of the bloody evening. I got that fleeting thought: I'm 27 years old and my MOM is calling my freaking WORK solely to remind me to drive carefully.

It's a good thing we're so close & that I'm so easy-going. I did let into her about it that night ("I can't believe you did that!"/"I'm not a freaking baby, you know!"/"Blah blah blah blah!"/"Hiss spit growl hiss hiss!"). God knows what would've happened if I was the type to fly off the handle at a moment's notice.

Not to many choices for the men.

This is crazy because I can only think of one thing. You know how an untucked shirt creeps up the butt and bunches at the small of your back? If we were out and I was walking ahead of her, she'd rush up behind me and pull my shirt down with force. I always hated that.

My mom is crazy. But embarrassing? Last summer she decided to throw ALL of the household belongings out in the yard with a big FREE sign. And I mean, ALL! Needless to say, she eventually moved out the next month. On the plus side, I got to buy all new clothes and belongings again.

My mom is great.

I don't remember my mom doing anything to embarrass me. Now my stepmother, well she did plenty. Once when I was about 8 I told her I wanted to be a singer. (She happens to sing very well and has performed at weddings and such.) She told me to sing for her and she'd give me some pointers. I did my best "You light up my life" and the b*tch laughed at me and continues to tell everyone what a horrible singer I am and laughs her ass off every time she tells that story.

That's so mean! You were only a kid, it's so cruel to do that kind of things. I can't really remember anything my mom did to embarras me (I'm sure I could come up with lots of things if I'd give it some thought). My aunt however knew how to make me feel like I wanted to die. At a party for my grandparent, I was about fourteen at the time, she suddenly said when there was a silence: 'Your skin seems to be getting worse every time I see you! Honestly, my sons never even got that much pimples and they are BOYS!'. I wanted to die at the spot. The worst part was that everyone felt sorry for me but no one said anything to my aunt about it. It made me feel even worse about a skin problem that already made me insecure.

Well.. I have this friend that I used to have a HUGE crush on. I introduced her to him one night when we were out and of course she knew who he was because I had told her all about him. And what does she say when she meets him?! "Oh, I know all about you. Alicia just cant stop talking about you." I almost died. He didnt know either.. but he sure did after that night. Luckily he was drunk and never brought it up again. He and I are still JUST friends.

Every Halloween my mom liked to dress up in outragous costumes and show up at my high school during lunch. One year it was a cavewoman, another was a fat tourist (with a blow up suit and everything!) At the time I was absolutly mortified because I went to a small school and every body knows every body. Everyone (except me) thought it was hilarious and the valdivictorian even brought it up again during her speech at graduation!

I looove my mom! BUT she embarassed me terribly as a child. She is a perfectionist, and if something like food or a product isn't beautiful and delicious and perfect, she will send it back, ask for a new meal/item of clothing/etc. OR she will argue and haggle prices and ask them to take off a discounted percentage. This always embarassed me so much as a child! I've grown to deal with it now, but sometimes I still wish I could fall through the floor.

Every time something new came about .. growing boobs.. starting my period.. whatever.. she would wait until there were a bunch of my friends around and make up a song about it.. most of the time to the tune of farmer in the dell

"Christinas growing boobs, Christinas Growing boobs hi-ho the derry-o, Christinas growing boobs!"

>:-(

Poor Christina I'm not supposed to laugh at this but I can't help it. That must've been awful.

MY mom is the embarrasing story QUEEN!! She loves to tell everyone we know about every embarrasing story about me. AHH!!

I was 20 years old and was at the zoo with my mom, sister and grandma. It was hot so I went to get a drink of water from the water fountain and my mom yells "don't let your mouth touch the fountain!" I was mortified. That's like the first thing that you learn in elementary school.

Well, there is no way to narrow it down to just one, so here are the 2 worst. My mom used to go between being ultra-religious and new-age. (today, she is a "priest" at a church that worships angels, and everyone who attends has changed their name to Angel).
Anyway, during her jesusfreak stage, she told me that I could only dress up for halloween if I came as a character from the bible. My baby brother and I dressed as Adam and Eve. I had a flesh colored bodysuit and tights, and she cut fig leaves out of felt and glued them over my chest and crotch. I was in the 5th grade! And she made me wear it to school! That was pretty bad.
The other thing is that when I became a teenager, she used to tell people that we were sisters. I guess that hurt my feelings more than embarassed me.

Look at the bright side: you set a trend with that Halloween theme and Heidi Klum copied you!

My mom announced at my 11th (or 12th ) birthday party that my hair (which used to be pin straight) was getting curly because I was entering puberty. Thanks, Mom. Juuuuuuust what you want to discuss with EVERYBODY.

My mother used to rip on my weight when I was a teen, saying in front of others how she looked better in my clothes than I did. She used to constantly criticize me in front of my friends and even claimed I embarassed her for dropping my her job at a beauty salon coming from the beach, not being all primped up. Friends eventually would speak up. I lost my baby chub and have maintained a size 2 and now she treats me like a Barbie but still is pretty hard on me. I refuse to go in a dressing room or change in front of her. I learned that when I was changing and she shouts out, OMG, how can you where those things with a string up your butt and your going to get ingrown hairs if you keep shaving like that. I was 27 and almost died.

WOW Miami Gal. That's rough. Sorry babe.

I got over it...just made me tougher to that kind of stuff and more sensitive in how I treat others. My stepdad is awesome. He has turned teasing her into an artform. And my guy speaks up when it starts...she's learning. Still a great mom, just only girl syndrome.

yea its okay.. i got over it and then sang it to my little cousin! MUA HA HA HA HAHAhahahaha!!!

When I was in 5th grade my mom picked my friends and I up after school. She was a stay at home mom with my little sister so she was wearing sweats that day. When my friends and I got to the car she was siting in the back seat talking to my little sister. We opened the door to the mini van and went to get in our seats. Well my mom decided to climb up to the front seat instead of getting out and going around. She had a huge hole in the butt of her sweats and she was wearing nude panties. It totally looked like my moms booty was showing! My friends were so uncomfortable and I was so embarrassed!! My mom thinks it is really funny though!

My mother got drunk and tried to make me feel stupid for not forgetting all of the crap she put me through as a kid. She got obnoxious and was all belittling me....in front of my best friend. Then she ended up peeing her pants.....hehehhe....karma's a beeyotch!

Well "Sinead O'Rebellion." Shock me shock me shock me with that deviant behavior.

Not the most embarassing but pretty bad: My mom mad a HUGE deal about me getting a bra and made me get a bra from the GUY salesman. At 10, that is unacceptable...and told my dad and brothers....I was so embarassed I wanted to crawl into a holePreppy to the max!

My mother did something a year or so ago. I introduced my Mom and Dad to the new Choir Director at our church (we both attend the same church). The choir director said She didn't know they were my parents. My Mom says "She's adopted." It just came out of no where. The choir director was like..."uh, that's okay..." I was so mortified like she was making an excuse for me being the way I was (not sure why). I had to explain to her later that my being adopted had nothing to do with the conversation.

The other thing she did when I was in 5th grade and in that chunky pre-pubescent stage. My mother asks one of the salesperson "WHERE ARE YOU BRAS FOR CHUBBY GIRLS?" OMG, I could have died!

The next time she embarrassed me while we were out shopping like that I said "WHO ARE YOU?" and walked off.

I have sat here all day long trying to think of something, and nothing comes up. My Mom did a great job in that department..well, she did a great job in every department. I her.

Well my mom has done every embrassing thing in the book..from following you into the doctors consulting room...telling the doctor exactly whats wrong with you even well into my 20's...telling the shoesales man why she thinks you shouldnt wear high heels etc... but the worse one happened when i was 15/16..my friends in the boarding house asked me to get them nail polish from the local market as i was living with my parents..in the middle of shoppin with my mum i slipped to the next stall and bought the nail polish...unfortunately my mum saw me just in time and yelled " Esi..I hope for your sake that, that nail polish is not for you" when i say she yelled i meaned she screamed on top of her voice i swear for a second everyone in the market jus stopped and starred at me...my God was i embrassed!!!!

Nothing I can think of.

this was rather rude of my mom but embarressing to me...when we would go over to a relatives house for dinner, whenever there would be a pause in the conversation, she'd use me as a topic and start telling my aunts and uncles about how i use to have bad acne, how i'm too tall and thats the reason why i have no boyfriend....she'd just spill out tons of stuff about me...and of course everyone at the table laughs! :/

My mother, I have mommie issues, I know they all screw up but I still have a problem forgiving some things(I am in my mid 30s now and she has not asked for forgiveness to begin with):

1) When I was 17 I went out my friends and told my mom I was staying at one of my friends house, I was not, we wanted to stay out late and had planned to sleep in the car. My mother found out from my lil sis and she at 11:30 p.m. called the mothers of all my friends and mothers of people in my class who were not my friends to tell them all that I was a liar and as such they should not let their kids hang out with me. You should have seen how embarassed I was the next Monday when people I barely knew came to me and said that my mother had called their house late screaming and hollering and telling their parents that I was bad news. Needless to say some parents wanted their kids to stay away from me and my mother (who they thought was obviously crazy for making the phone call). FYI, at the time I was not a crazy, wild child -- I was an A student/co-captain of the volleyball team kinda nerdy type.

Flashforward 2 months (graduation day)

Earlier during the day, we went to the mall to buy my graduation shoes, I was still upset at the above since some people had shunned me, we started discussing it and my mother tells me basically that I have no right to ever ask her for an apology since she gave me life and has done everything for me and since I do not seem to appreciate her I would learn the hard way so she proceeded to leave me at the mall and when I finally made it home (an hour before the graduation)I ran to shower and when I get out the shower I realize my mother is not getting ready, and then she tells me "told you you will learn -- I am not going" so I had to take a taxi to my own graduation and got there after they had presented the diplomas.

I am not sure what was more embarassing of the two. Lucky for me, one of my friends parents took me under their wings and invited me to their daughter's graduation dinner (which they called our graduation dinner). I think by then based on the exhibit of behavior from 2 months before these parents thought my mom was bonkers. I moved 1500 miles to go away to college two months later.

My Mom never did anything mean-spirited to embarass me at all, just little things that you think are embarrassing as a teenager, but aren't a big deal once you are older. Now that I am a stepmom, I try very hard to make sure that I don't dress or behave in a way that will embarrass my stepkids. I feel so bad for them because their biomom wears really gaudy clothes, really long fake nails, and always has a different hair color. I swore I would never embarrass them like that!

When my mom is pissed and feels the need to let you know, she just does it. It doesn't matter who's around and she has embarressed me in front of many friends and boyfriends. She just snapps out.
