Embarrassing Parents

Have your Parents ever said anything really embarrassing about you, in front of a load of people? Or maybe one of your mate's parents said something about them, in front of you.

I remember once, when I was 15, I'd just come back from a holiday, with my mate and his family, and my mum met my mate's mum in Sainsbury's, and for some reason, my mum accidentally disclosed the fact that I'd told her that my mate's family were always arguing. Needless to say, I wasn't invited on their next holiday, the following year.

As for the lads I went to school with, some of them really did have dozy mums, who didn't seem to worry about embarrassing their sons, e.g. I remember one lad's mum telling a load of other mothers, including mine, that her son, who was 13 at the time, didn't have any pubic hair down below. Then, there was the mother who discussed her son's wet dream problem, bemoaning how she was always having to take his sheets to the launderette. Oh, and I seem to remember another of my mates' mums, telling my mum that her son had been in tears, crying over something really trivial, like the fact that they'd run out of brown sauce one dinnertime - when he was 16!

I remember when I was about 16 and I'd been with my boyfriend of the time for about 6 months and I was in the kitchen with my mum and best friend talking about how happy I was with him (first love and all that), when my mum asks me if I've ever had an orgasm with him.

I can't even explain the absolute feeling of "I want to die right now" I experienced.

1) Why would my mum want to know.
2) My friend was there
3) Why would my mum want to know
4) No, I hadn't.

My parents never did anything like that! Especially not sexual stuff! :O

At least your boyfriend wasn't there. My dad came back drunk from the pub and asked me and my girlfriend if we'd be going upstairs in a minute to have sex.

In my youth, I planned a lovely night in for me and my girlfriend, my parents were going out and I had cooked a meal and allowed her the choice of film to watch.

Everything was going well until my parents turned up having only been out for half an hour! They had hit a pothole in the road and punctured two tyres so decided to come home and ruin my night as well as their own!

They burst in, my mother grabbed the remote, my stepfather squeezed between me and my girlfriend and they flicked through the (then new concept) satellite system looking for soft german porn! To make matters worse their 'friends', who were actually my father and his new wife, sat down with them and started to translate the German so that everyone could follow the plot!

My girlfriend described it as one of the strangest evenings of her life. Sad thing was, for me it was a pretty typical saturday night >_<

LOL! Ellie that is brutal!

I've not had any embarassing except last time saw dad he was drunk and was asking if I was gay in the pub...I said something about his other half and ye...

Any ways lol

There seems to be a blurring of roles these days. When I was young it was clearer who the parents were! My dad was ALWAYS the one with the sawn-off.

Ellie wins.

You're sad now, but I bet you cheer yourself up in a few years time by asking your daughter the very same thing :D

Exactly - if I had a daughter.

Having kids has almost no advantages. But they are OK when they get past 25. Except the murderers, rapists, etc. who seem to be OK at any age.

Yep, all except the Commies, Fascists, Lefties, Righties, Rapists, Papists, Papist Rapists...

A bit off-topic, but...

I haven't been on here for a long time, so I haven't seen her avatar before. But damn, how hot is Ellie?! Round of applause from all the lads for Ellie!
