[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your appearance like?

Just trying to help you keep it real.  I was embarrassed of my mother growing up and never had people over.[/quote]

Same.

My mom was obese and didn’t really have good social skills. My friends parents were funny, pretty, slim, etc. My parents would literally always say or do something to embarrass me.  For example my mom would sing inappropriate songs that were in the radio but get all the words wildly wrong and she was a horrible singer. Nothing she did was “bad” or ill intended, just outrageously embarrassing for a teen.  I still cringe at them. My dad was only marginally better because he was quiet.  When he did speak something that would embarrass me would fall out of his mouth.  They’re still like that. I was embarrassed for them to meet my friends in my new town until recently and I’m 50. The only thing that changed is now I know I’m being judged for me not by my parents. And many of my friends parents are getting worse with age while mine are staying the same - so it’s about even now.

I am making a real effort to be better for my kids.[/quote]
