There goes a joke.... What do you call two people who embarrass you in front of your friends? Mum and Dad! Hahaha...I think it would have happened to every one in their lives.The most which happened to me was when I was studying.I was very mischeif & playful.After coming from the school I used to play instead of doing the home work given.But my friends used to complete their home work & then come to play.Usually we used to play in my home.My mom used to ask my friends whether they have done their home work.They all used to say "YES".Just hearing that my mom used to scold me in front of them.It really used to embarras me a lot. Anybody here has gone through like this in front of your friends?

Oh yeah...tell me about it. Its a youngsters nightmare to be embarassed and then to face their friends afterwards. I think its just the matter of age. At that age we feel that we are being embarassed but now I feel that it was nothing. I guess its one of the ways parents have chosen to bring their kids on track when no other tricks work.

Well, i have a different story about this topic. My parents are not strict when it comes to their children because we are all behave. But one time during my young age I was planed to run away from home due to my love life. I had a boyfriend and when he came into our house my sister was angry and that night after he leave she argued me. That was the first time I hate my her. At night, I prepared my things to bring to run away. When my parents knew about what I did, they searched me and finally they found me in my uncle's house but never never said even a single word. They never asked anything about the past. They just told me to go home and no more. We remain silent. The whole day they let me sleep, eat and rest. No more questions. Because of that, I learned a lesson which remain into my memory until now. They used their silent type of disciplinary action and I always remember the way they used. Today, I apply that method into my children.

Hey u r talking about when u were young and doing homework! My father scolds me all the time. :( But then, he just loves me and only knows that way to express it. :-) I know this sounds insane. For example, my friend and her father arrived from B'lore. And I didnt expect they would be dropping in. Luckily my maid was around, and it was raining that day, so I asked her to make some bhajiyas, I think u know what it is. My friend likes them very much. Anyways, I placed the hot ones before her father. And I was talking to my friend all the while, and trying to pick some paper napkins and plates - my father started shouting - how many times should I tell u - bring plates, bring water, bring napkins at one go. And what about sauce. I said I forgot sauce! We dont have any. And was he annoyed at that. How do u plan to offer it like that. For a few minutes I almost alway become numb, my mind says - here I go - u handle him. But then I choose to take it light. He likes to show I am well trained, and doesnt want to accept I am not! :( Whatever, my friend knows me, and she started helping inside. So everything went off quite well eventually. But this is just one instance to show, all parents do that. :) And yet they are chooooo lovable. :)

In life anything can happen at any instant.During my academic year's end of the 8th grade or so,in my school my dad had come as a part of the closing ceremony,because we had holidays after a year's class.The results were out,in the class when our reports regarding marks were called out,my chance came and dad also came with me ,upon not getting marks to his expectations he called out to me and scolded me with a loud noise,as my other friends had got much more than me.I rally felt something out of this world.I didn't try to get what he was saying to me,I decided not to get involved much and think of something else during his scolding. I was simply feeling the pain inside me,but upon reaching home my mum told to dad that please don't scold children in public,on hearing this I felt a little happy though.

Being friendly to you and embarrassing you are two different things. My parents were always friendly to me too, but lets face it, parents can sometimes be a major pain in the butt. My mom was friendly and all, but she always had to do something embarrassing, like twirling around in the rain saying I love God, when about 6 of mine and my brothers friends were over. Hey, I love God too, but I don't like acting like a fool about it. Or when she would make me return an item, without a receipt, and it was clearly expired because she didnt bother to use it! Thats embarrassing! Stupid stuff like that. Doesn't mean she wasn't friendly, she just did things a little different. Some things she did I agree with, alot of things I do not.

My parents use to be really cool...all of my friends loved my parents...but boy did my dad have a habit of embarrassing me. Especially when I reached that age to start dating...he would literally give the poor guy the 3rd degree...one guy told me that if we were to still go out he wasn't going to come back in my house while my father was there lol.

Yeah my father decided to ask me out loud to the entire store about my menstrual pains and even this man walking by me gave me this look like "I'm so sorry for you" Of course being a teen at the time it was embarrassing to me but now It wouldn't bother me so much.

a lot! they're my friends, anyway! one time, when everybody was having a drink i just asked for one shot and they scolded me right in front of them both said "no!" but eventually they shut up. too late to backout so they just kept quiet. sometimes the'yre forgetting im not a kid anymore, haha! most of the time, they only do that to tease me and so my friends would just laugh at it. also in highschool when my classmate courted me. he went to our house with my friends. there, my parents interrogated him and tell in front of my friends, i don't even know how to fry eggs! again, just to tease me. of course i do know how to cook. i just smiled at them.

My parents have never embarrased me in front of my classmates or friends. My parents are really cool and very practical. They handle any issues related to me just the way i like. In front of my friends they never let me down. They always encourage me in everything i do. Sometimes my classmates feel jealous about me coz i've got great parents.
