Are you embarrassed to be seen with your parents?

[DiscordantFollower 14]

I told my parents there totally cool with it. IF you haven't told them yet you should probably do that soon.

[Virulence 254]

I don't mind being with my mom, but with my dad... that's another story.

 

Whenever I'm with him, he still tries to put his arm around me, like I'm still a little kid and when I walk by some teenagers, they just laugh. It's just fatherly love, but could it stay at home, please??

[Frith is Magick 1,471]

I love my parents, and they are very dear to me, but I just can not take them out in public. When I am alone, I have no shame, but with them around I get embarrassed much easier.

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

Oh hell yes, they do. 

 

My mom isn't that bad, but I swear that my dad purposely tries to be as annoying, and embarrasing as he can be. 

[Sugar Pea 2,682]

I don't think anyone wants to be caught dead with their parents, especially we see someone from school.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love my family, but I have my reasons as to why I split up with them while we are in a store. xD

They can be very empty minded, and I bit embarrassing.  Sometimes they can be a little racist in public, and since my mom is an overprotective b-word, she will be a b-word. (She is for the most part nice, I love that chick xD)

I was listening to a person once and here is what they basically said to me:

 

If you are embarrassed by your parents then you are being rude, they have brought you into this world and they raised you, you should be happy to live with them.

 

I love my parents and i accept that they are my family, i should not be embarrassed.

[Sapana 66]

Generally, no, I'm not really embarrassed to be seen with my mom. It's not a big deal in and of itself.

 

What embarrasses me is when, for instance, we are at a store and something comes up with the cashier or customer service, and she completely loses her cool on them. My mom can be incredibly rude, inconsiderate, and pig-headed when she doesn't get her way, and that is what embarrasses me.

 

To the person above me - I agree that parents deserve respect, but they lose a little from me when they don't show it to others.

[SomariFeyWright 776]

Embarrassed? Please. HE'S embarrassed to be with ME!

 

I wear brony/fandom shirts, rant on about my fandoms, tend to be very clumsy and get flustered easily, get very worked up in difficult situations... yeah, I'm sure he'd like to waste his time in other ways than embarrassing himself with me. ^^;

[Scootalove 10,689]

I'm always embarrassed when my mom comes to my school, especially if a teacher upsets her. She is pretty embarrassing everywhere.

[Moonlight 7,288]

I'm not embarrassed to be seen with my parents, personally. My parents do like to embarrass me on purpose but I don't mind it all too much. My mother is ridiculously protective as well so I couldn't get them to back off even if I tried. I don't pay attention to my "reputation" either in real life, that's something I could really care less about. 

[Radiance64 7,053]

No, not really. There are times where I wish that I still didn't live with them but that's another story. They're not so bad in public though, usually.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Def. depends on where I am at and man that sucks man... 

 

For me it really just depends on the time and place really.

[MichaelxXxTrixie 433]

I like going out to places with my parents. My littlest brother is the one who embarrasses me the most.

[Hyper Tumble 1,483]

Most of the time I am, because it probably looks like I don't have anyone better to go with.

[Sugar Cube 4,843]

My parents? Oh boy, where oh where do I even begin?

 

My father is no longer with me, but during his last few years with me, I would be somewhat embarrassed to go anywhere with him just because of how he looked. Because he chain smoked while on the road as a truck driver for many years and ended up having to have surgery after letting oral cancer get so bad, he looked really quite deformed and well..... ugly. Not to mention, you don't even want to know how old he was for a father, which was something he bragged about. I wanted to work out a deal where we'd let strangers think he was my grandfather, but he was far too proud and stubborn for that. -_-

 

As for my mother, she suffers from depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. She has a heart of gold and is very generous and considerate of others, but because of her issues, she isn't always the most pleasant person to be around, and I have found her to be quite embarrassing to be with many times, but I'm not about to go into those stories.

 

I think that most people can find their parents embarrassing for many reasons though, as it's just the natural order of things. You cannot pick who your parents are, so I try to look past the flaws and love them for their good qualities. A little embarrassment is a good thing. It has toughened me up a bit.

There's a drawer somewhere in my parents closet, likely filled to the brim with my uh...moments.,.

 

Yeah, I had a weird childhood.

[Neon Fire 473]

It depends on the place.  I hate walking into gamestop with my mom, and I originally would have to to get M rated games since I wasn't 18 yet.  It would be so awkward seeing guys looking at games there by themselves and I'm with my mom.  Or at the mall I feel awkward too since there's all these teenagers by themselves and I'm with my mom.  What makes it even worse is I'm only 4'11" and a lot of people think I'm like 12 when I'm really 18 >_<

[Wayzer 1,418]

Well, I used to be a few years ago. But I grew over it 

 

It could be kinda embarrassing sometimes if you're 1,91 meters or 6'3 though

I am not really embarrassed to be seen with them but my parents can be really obnoxious sometimes, mostly my mom who is sorta terrible at gauging when and how much to talk to strangers. Even as a child I realized she did it so excessively. My mom and dad also get overly upset/angry about really stupid things in public sometimes. Never made a huge fuss but its enough to make me roll my eyes.

[Galen 1,354]

Hell no. I mean, there's not even anything I wouldn't do short of committing crime to let my parents transfer here to London. I'd move in with them without batting an eye. That is only because I don't have a gf yet, ofc. I'd be living with her otherwise, given the right financial conditions.

[Venomshank 121]

Well, I'm lucky because my parents can't embarrass me.

Simply put, they're too cool to.

My Mom is the mascot for the term "down-home pretty" at this point, and she's all about MotoX and Nitro Circus, I used to be worried about the possibility that she might embarrass me, but she seems to have this inherent ability to seem cool to everybody. We share a sense of humor.

 

My dad is one of the only 37 year-olds I've ever met that likes dubstep and GTA. We share an attire scheme, which is to say, jeans, liscenced black t-shirts, black coats, and sarcasm.

 

And if you were wondering how they reacted to the brony thing, they fought over who was going to take me to Toronto bronycon, and my dad recently subscribed to fluffymixer on YouTube.

[Aisling Ink 195]

I never felt embarassed of being around with my parents, they are usually pretty cool so even when I was a teen it was hardly embarrassing.

 

Now I don't live with them anymore but I often see my mother and go around with her, if people think of me as a less independent person it's their problem and, really, it all depends on the relationship you have with your parents.

[Solid 1,327]

Nope.

 

I'm proud of my parents and I always will be.

Edited December 9, 2013 by Solid Scorpion

[Heatwave 177]

Nope. Doesn't bother me at all. I'm 22, and I live with my parents. It's free room, board, tuition, and food while I'm going to University. I got no complaints.

[Skylar 1,641]

I am not embarrassed to be seen with them, though they do tend to make embarrassing comments like 'oh did you see that waitress was looking at you, I think she likes you' or really annoying stuff like that xD
