Be honest. Do your parents embarrass you?

Question

My mom almost never did, but my dad was another story. I remember eating at this Hawaiian barbecue place with him and this old burnt out (former drug addict) lady who wasn’t homeless was walking around asking people for money. My dad yelled at her in the middle of the restaurant to go away and leave him alone while he was trying to eat. It was very embarrassing. Some guy went outside and took his shirt off, and sat on the hood of his car outside the front door to wait for my dad to come outside. My dad had already had a minor heart attack and minor stroke, and was about 67 years old. I kept an eye on him, sandbagged, and ate my food slow to give the guy some time to think about his poor life decisions. I wasn’t going to let him start a fight with my dad and give him another heart attack or stroke, and decided to attack him with everything I had if he said anything to my dad at all. After staring at him like I was going to kill him for about one minute, he realized it was me he was going to have to fight and decided it was in his best interest to leave.

My mother embarrasses me if we're out in public, on occasion.

She's very loud, and doesn't come with a volume control, so I'm constantly telling her to be more quiet. Everyone always stares at her, and they usually have that, "Oh my God, STFU!" look on their face.

I don't associate with my father, at all, because I've completely cut him out of my life. I'm embarrassed that I'm even related to him.

Sometimes but I don't mind it anymore since it seems like they're aging quickly.

yes because she is emotionally immature, bad mouths, and is passive aggressive towards everyone in public. i almost feel like i have to apologize.

unless you are pretty or are nice to her, she will praise you and think you're the best thing ever.

Not at all. They're highly intelligent and successful beings and if anything I want to be more like them.
