When Parents embarrass their Kids?

Michaelrsh · 20-04-2010 7:09pm #1

This is a reversal of a previous thread. Anyone have any stories about when PARENTS embarrass their kids?

Every time my dad goes on and on to people in the pub about how I became a Liverpool fan

They don't f*cking care!

As if getting my period wasn't traumatising enough to a 14-year-old, my mam decided to share it with my brother and my dad. But she so kindly referred to it as 'her others'.

I usually end up mortified, wishing I'd never accepted her friend request!

Oh. Mi. God.

Only, like, everyone time my 'rents open their mouths. They're, like, so out of touch. I mean, my Dad listens to music with guitars in it? Like, hello, welcome to the 90's already.

I remember when I was about 9 or 10, and myself and my friends were out on the street oustside my house. There were a group of about 10 of us and me and a friend were talking whilst the rest were slightly up the road a bit. They sort of went into a huddle, I can't remember what it was exactly what they were doing but it was completely innocent.
With that, mam comes running out there screaming at the top of her lungs about how the other kids were excluding me and my friend.
I just stood there, mortified and slowly walked into my house. I don't think I've ever had an argument like it before. Didn't talk to my Mam for about a year and didn't go outside and hang around with people until I was about 14.

I still haven't and won't forgive my mam to this day.

Another time, she mentioned something about me being circumcised to one of my friends when I was about 14.
I'm going to stop now before there is another murder on the news.

music with guitars aren't good?? The top acts in the world would all have had guitars such as the nestles, ac/dc, guns n roses, led Zeppelin...

When they beat me playing poker and they expect me to take it on the chin... But when I'd beat them, they sulk... For fúck sake... "How could you do that to your own mother/father?"

Like you wouldn't do it 'to your own son'... Get a grip...:mad:

NOTE: this would not be in some tiddly-winks game of poker for no money or anything. This could be in a serious cash game with some damn good money on the go. And no, we don't collude or split money. It's vicious shít between us, believe me. I've gone 2 weeks sulking and being scorpy cos my father bluffed me off a pot before... It's so bad, it's not even funny.

You need to check the fuse on your irony meter there. Did you not notice the D4 er, twang?

The Nestles???

I dont have a personal anecdote. I spend most of my life embarassing myself. There was a great advert a while back where the mother gets fed up of the child crying wanting sweets in the supermarket, so she acts out a tantrum herself and mortifies him. It was brilliant! I'll see if I can find it.

My ma is a professor in a uni and used to use little anecdotes from my childhood to illustrate things (no, I won't tell yous what) which was all fine and dandy until I started attending the very same uni and chatting to girls in the uni pub they'd be like "Oh, I had your mammy today and she told us you used to do this and that when you were 10"...
Great, thanks ma!

Actually it depends which road in D4 you live in. I mean hello didnt you know that? The o'briens from 42 oyster tavern close say loike but thats because they are are protestant and Fianna Fail voters. Their uncle is like a senator or minister or Cardinal(Are the the same) or something. But the clancy's from Waterloo gardens, are catholic, and vote Independent, and they say like coz their like half american coz their dad like owns half of Newport beach and a third of greenwich village.

Hahahaha my aunt does that to me! For example, once I posted a status update at half twelve at night... The next day I checked my page and there was a comment from her saying "Ooh, someone was up late last night!" I just think it's funny, but I can imagine when I was younger I would have been mortified... Funnily enough her two teenage daughters haven't accepted her friend request!

Incidentally, you can make a Friends list of a group of people and then stop them from seeing certain stuff... You can customise each of your status updates and each one of your photo albums, among other things. I have a 'Family' and a 'Work' list on my facebook, so if I'm posting something I don't want them to see it's easy enough to manage
