As parents, we know how much fun it is, and often neccessary, to embarrass your children. So what do you do or say that make your kids cringe or turn beet red???

My mom doesn't match half the time, I make her walk a mile away from me.

One of the great joys in life is embarassing your kid. Any parent who tells you otherwise is lying. ;)

My step-daughter is dating now, (she's just turned 16), and making her blush in front of her boyfriend is a riot! ('cause, y'know, I love it when she rolls her eyes so hard that I think they might actually fall out of their sockets)

Of course, she's completely convinced that we're idiots. She has a very healthy disrespect not only of me and her Dad, but all adults...............'cause, you know, we're idiots.

Aaah, nice topic, Beatle. :nice:
My mom is multi-talented in this area. Sometimes she brags about me (though there is nothing to brag about-thats what makes it embarrassing), and 24/7 she has these pictures of me EVERYWHERE.....our house is like a "Demi Shrine" :eek3:

Oh, don't ever, for a second believe that! You were born, you exist on the face of this planet......that's bragging rights right there. Ask any Mom.

This is the beginning of the strangest *first post* I have ever made:

I just have to give the 'all knowing look' or a suggestive remark and my son turns hot pink. ...you see, my son was not assertive enough to get past the janitor while we were shopping one day...and apparently he REALLY needed to go and SUDDENLY...so, he made his way back to where I was located in the store to tell me he had to 'go'. Not knowing the urgency or the fact that he already attempted- I just told him 'ok-go.' ...well, long story short- boxers dont hold 'packages' too well ...shopping carts can double as rolling stamps ...and always be prepared to purchase an entire new outfit without notice.

...It's funny now, but he was sooo embarrassed and humiliated and it was the first time I seen him about to cry in YEARS. Anyway- thats one of the ways I get the job done.

My parents don't embarrass me. They couldn't even if they tried. :|

That sounds like a challange there ;)

My parents didn't really embaress me that much (that I remember). But then they wheren't around when I started dating, and that seems a popular time to embaress your children ;)

Actually, it's not. I'm being serious when I say they are incapable of embarrassing me. But that's just because I've already heard, seen, and dealt with it all that there are no surprises left. :D :p

How Do You Embarrass Your Kids???

I exist!!

We are somewhat dysfunctional and all have an odd sense of humor. We actually WORK at embarassing each other. It's the only real entertainment we can afford.

If my mom trys "embrass me" ill hit her, me and my mum have this mutual hate thing going on, we scream at each other and throw coffee at the wall and punch wholes in the wall but iv never tryed to embrass her, as for my dad well im sure he would love to hug me, if he hadnt gone and got him self in jail, and my step dad wouldnt embrass me if you paid him.

sometimes when cars drive by and they have house music blarring out the windows with the bass going all crazy, I will throw down whatever i have in my hands (assuming it is not a child) and start doing some mock tribal dance.
the kids laugh but always turn a nice bright shade of red.

I ask for persmission to go the restroom in front of their peers.

I know why she'd brag, you rock and you know it! :D

I dont have kids, but i embarassed the kids i babysit for by laughing too loudly at the movie Napoloen Dynamite. This was only my second time seeing the movie, and it was so funny the first time, and this time i KNEW when the funny stuff was gonna happen.

amanda said, "Jenn quit laughing so loud! you're the only one in the theater laughing!"

It's even better when you embarass kids and they arent even your own kids!! ;)

Remember the movie National Lampoon's Vacation....the scene where Clark and his family are having a picnic. Clark's trying to look all cool dancing with that sandwich. Well, I just kinda dance like that while i'm driving, without the sandwich. Works especially well while sitting at a red light

Perfection!

.. I would tell some horror stories of things my mom has done (and still does)..

Actually, I will tell you some lol...

Okay my mom and I often "hang out".. it's kind of odd but my mom's actually kind of cool.. she's not your average "mom".. until she decides she wants to embarrass me. An example is we'll be at the mall, and we'll go through a section in some store that has like underwear... usually it's coloured with weird sparkally thingies on it (always ugly and granni styled)... well, my mom would put them (whether guys or womans) over her pants.. and walk around with them... yelling, "Michele my son, how do I look"... totally drawing attention, it's hard to explain in words how embarrassing it is. I would try to walk off pretending I don't know her...

Ah, another classic.. my mom and I would go to the store... but she'll decide to make a funny face.. like she'll make it look like she's got buck teeth and she'll talk really funny.. and it's actually really funny, until we're at the cashier and she's doing it. The thing is she does it so well that it actually looks like it could be her face.. like that's how she really is.. and I'm like, "Mom, stop"... she just keeps going, "Wha? THis is my son Michele... he's my son, I'm his mom..."... omg and in the most annoying sounding voice EVER... loud... we get out and she's laughing...

Oh, and it's really great when we're walking and she decides to start singing.. out of no where... WAY off key.. and it's always something stupid..

Anyway... it's hard explaining in words, it's worse if you're there experiencing it.

Put it this way, you know when people say, "My mom takes this embarrsing pictures out of me and shows them"... I wish that's all my mom did.
