Moms are just good at embarassing their young..don't you think?

So I just returned from visiting with my mother for two weeks. I started noticing when I arrived how much her friends seemed to know about me. I learned throughout the duration of my stay that my grandparents,her friends at work,her boss at work and even her neighbors across the street were aware of personal issues in my life. I was a little embarassed to know her neighbor knew I recently had been struggling financially or that other people knew that I was behind on scheduling my yearly pap smear or that everyone and I do mean everyone was aware of my personal business concerning my fiance. He has lung cancer and everyone has been made aware of it. Considering as of late he has had a rough few weeks I do believe my mother is trying to protect me from the stresses among other things of his illness. So everyone I ran into from her doctor to my grandparents during my trip kept insisting I should move in with my mother and leave my current situation. Their reasoning behind it was I needed to take care of myself as if I was not emotionally attached to my fiance and leaving would be as simple as turning on a light switch. I also went to the dentist during my stay where my mother made a scene concerning that I had not been to the dentist in quite some time. I, like other people do not have dental insurance so having the cash on hand to go to the dentist was not in the cards as of late. She completely made me feel irresponsible and degraded enough that I was ready to go home in a hurry.Have you ever been embarassed by your mother or either parent? How did they do it and how did you feel about it?
