Has a/your child ever embarrassed you?

[jx3smom]

I have been blessed with 3 boys so of course I have been embarrassed many times. Once DS was 3 or 4 at the time he came out of the rest room of Red Lobster with his big (14yo) brother and yelled across the dining room to our table. He said "mommy, do you have a p***is?"

Same DS just the other day told my MIL that we didn't want her to go to WDW with us anymore.

When my youngest was four he got loads of attention being the only child (along with my then six year old - who was behaving himself!) at my brother's wedding. While dancing he kept twisting his little fanny around saying "shake my bootie" and had everyone else doing it too. When my new SIL's mother was leaving she asked him for a kiss, which he declined. She said "how about a hug?" He didn't want to so instead he said "Nope, but I'll show you my underwear!" and promptly pulled down his pants. I about died.

Ohhhh DS did this the toehr day in a resturant... He came out of the bathroom with Ex Dh and said "Mommy I have something to show you!" Silly me said "What Honey?" Pulls his pants down right there and says "Look Buzz Lightyear underwear!" I think I was laughing to hysterically to be embarrassed... LOL

"Mommie, buy this one, it's already got boobies in it!"

These are all hilarious....


pumba....that is a great fear of mine!!! One Sat, my DH snuck in on me while all the kids were downstairs eating breakfast. Wouldn't you know our Bishop (local church leader) calls for one of us, I don't even remember which one it was and all I could think about was if DS told him WE were in the shower.

Mosmom...nursing stories are great aren't they? I can't count the times one of my kids has said or done something crazy while I was nursing. The best is when they walk over while you are discreetly nursing in front of other people and just yank your shirt up!

Reading these reminded me of another one:

The Church Christmas play about 5 or 6 years ago, we had a new director who only had 1 child, a baby, so she didn't understand the sibling dynamics. Both of my DS's were in the angel choir, and she made the mistake of having them stand next to each. So in the middle of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" you see my 2 DS's elbowing each other, then small shoves, the loud whispers of "stop it". Fortunately, the song was over before it turned into a knock down drag out fight.

Needless to say, my boys have been separated for every Christmas play since then!

These are way too funny!!!

Round #2:

Little Miss Farty-pants has an older sister......and, having apparently recovered from the first mortification (or maybe just not being a very quick learner ), I decide to take her (about 6 at the time) up to meet my supervisor (I suppose it's been about 2 months.....maybe they'd forgotten the first incident..... I hope). So I bring her in (by the way, this supervisor is also a good friend of mine, as well as acquaintances with my family.... small town, you know). I introduce her to them..... "This is Brittney.... Brittney, this is Betty and her husband Dick." Britt looks at me with this incredulous look on her face and says, "His name is Dick?"........ being well aware of what she is thinking, and hoping they were not aware, I very calmly reply "Yes". She gets this even more expressive look of disbelief on her face, and says, just a little louder, "His name is DICK?!?!", emphasizing the last word while making VERY sure everyone understood her dilemma by pointing emphatically to the location of that body part (should she herself have had one). These people STILL did not have a hole within 50 miles of their house (I checked again)...... I should have dug one the first time!!! I have three other nieces, and let me assure you, Betty and Dick will NEVER EVER EVER meet them. No way!!! No how!!! Twice is enough...... I have now officially learned, and recovery is doubtful.

I don't know about the rest of you, but it embarrasses the pee out of me (no pun intended ) when my ds decides he needs to go potty and grabs hold of himself and won't let go. He's gotten better, the older he is, but I think he still does it every now and then just to embarrass me.

When I was pregnant with my ds, my dd decided she was a friend of mine. She would introduce herself as my friend, give her friend's work address as her own, told everyone she had just had a baby (my dd was 3 yo at the time), would tell everyone she lived in the town my friend lived in, and that she was married to my friend's dh (well, ex dh now ). It would embarrass me because once she started telling details, she would only get louder until she could finish.

omgosh these are hysterical!!

Well none of my children can be accused of being shy

The last time they got up on stage at Church for a little song Kaylee waved franticaly and screemed " Hi Mommy HI Daddy! Where's Karissa???"
LOL

Cam holds the family record for this and thankfully we were alone at the time but this could have been terrible.

When he was about 3 we were driving down the road and he says " Momm, I want a cond*m*" I said " WHATTT???" he repeated himself and with as horrified as I was I knew he had never heard that word before so I pulled over and calmly asked him to show me what he meant he got all exasperated and said " MOM! Over there.... The Cond*m*s" ahhhhhhh the light went on, we had been house hunting and he was talking about the CONDOMINIUMS we were looking at the week before.

 

[Talking Hands]

When my youngest DD was 3 we went out the eat after church at this fast food place. While getting the food I sent her and her sister then 7 to the restroom. Next thing I know my 3 yo comes running out of the restroom naked with her sister running behind her with her clothes. I wanted to crawl under the table. To make matters worse, I looked up to see one of the church deacons and his wife sitting at a table and watching the entire scene.

And this is only one time they have embarassed me.

Thank goodness this happened at my house and not in public. My 7yo daycare girl was doing her spelling homework and had to figure out words that had the "ape" chunk in them. My 9yo son piped up, "how about rape?". After asking him where he'd heard that word, trying to explain what it was to a child who doesn't know the birds and the bees, and then telling him that it wouldn't be an appropriate word for her spelling list, I thought the discussion was closed. A few minutes later a couple of 12yo daycare boys walked in and my 9yo said, "I still don't understand what's wrong with rape". You should have seen the looks on the older boys faces! Yikes, I think I need to have some more discussions with my son! BTW, I told him that there were lots of things wrong about rape. Never too early to drill that in to a boy's brain.

LOL If only there was enough bandwidth for all the times Mo confused or mispronounced words in public. The best was when she pronounced FROG as another 4 letter F word we all know so well. Everytime we were out and she saw a frog, she would SCREAM...FUUUUUUU## FUUUUUUUUU##. I felt like all I was doing was explaining why my 18 month old was screaming obsenity.

 

[autochick]

oh please we were perfect angels. We never embarrassed you.

I just remembered 2 more. DS was about 3 sitting in a shopping carriage while I was checking out groceries. Since the carriage was down at the end of the checkout he decided to be helpful and bag for me! The problem was he was taking groceries from the checkout next to us and putting them in our cart
Next incident also age 3, A neighbor said to me, "I saw your son outside with no clothes on" I said, "Yes, he's often out in the back yard with no clothes on" He said, "This was not in your backyard,this was out at the mailbox"

Many years ago, I was in a small toy store with one of my nephews. He was about 2 years old and I was a teenager. My mother and sister (his mother) were shopping elsewhere in the mall. He was really good for a while, quietly playing with some of the toys. When it was time to leave, however, he grabbed a toy clock and started heading towards the door with it. I told him we had to leave it there, because it belonged to the lady behind the counter. (That always worked with my other nephew.) But, he clung tightly to the clock and ran for the door screeching, “MINE! MINE! MINE!” All eyes in the store turned to us, and I figured that they must’ve thought I was the worst mother in the world. I tried to say that we needed to go find his mother and ask her to buy it. But he would have none of it and keep repeating "MINE! MINE! MINE!" I wound up buying the clock for him as an early birthday present. Good thing I had money on me. I thought twice about going into a store with him after that.

These stories are so funny. LOL!!!

My most embarassing moment happened twice. Once with each kid.
I'd be sitting on the couch nursing one of my babies. I'd have a baby blanket nearby to cover up with. Someone would come in the door and I'd immediately cover up. Well, once they heard the strange voice they grabbed the blanket off of them, let go of me and look to see who it was, all at the same time. So I'd be sitting there totally exposed to my bil. Yes, twice with the same person. I never figured out whether it was a good thing or a bad one that it was the same person both times.

Norah had trouble saying the TR sound. But she just loved trucks of any kind and would yell out the kind of truck passing by. Guess what letter she replaced the TR sound with? Yup.. an F.

When she was 2, 3 and even into 4 she would yell out...."BIG _uck",

"LITTLE _uck",

oh yes, and even "FIRE _uck" and "GARBAGE _uck".

Oh Boy! This made me remember my ds at the age of 3. We were having dinner with my parents when out of the blue ds says "mommy and daddy were wrestling in the bed and daddy was winning!" I thought my husand was going to die! My mom and dad about died laughing. Needless to say from that point on we were alot more cautious!!!

 

[luv2nascar]

my beloved dd at 5 used to tell strangers or anyone who asked her if she had any brother or sisters
that her mom was going to have a baby but it died

I always felt embarassed by this
people would get this really strange look on their face like oh
what the heck does that mean
it was a miscarriage but I felt no need to explain this to everyone she told
