Respecting Kids' Personal Business?

Question

Have you ever been embarrased by a parent who will not keep your confidence and blabs to everyone about your personal affairs.

Answer 1

Ya, Once told my mom not to tell my dad something. It was kinda personal. One Day overheard my mom "telling" my dad,i was so embarrassed Couldn't even look at my dad, and felt so backstabbed by my mom. It's terrible, but more worse than having ur mom throw a shoe at you in the garage with friends watching us, and her being half naked... well a bra......and threw a shoe at me, for chasing a chip-munk............Major Embarrasment...............................

Answer 2

Well my mom is a hair stylist and I have come to realize that this is both a good and bad thing! She often uses me (and my personal affairs) as subjects to talk about with her clients. Often times these people know everything about me and I've never even met them. Try not to get too upset about it though, your mom isn't doing it to hurt you. Just learn to laugh it off (if you can!) : )
