Oh crap...

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Open house for highschool, my mom is set on taking me no matter how much I beg and plead her not to, first day of MS she purposely said my full name loudly, claimed I had something on my face (I didn't!) and wiped her nasty SPIT all over my FACE.

It's not too hard. Just ask her to not make an embarrassing gesture at you and maybe it will help.. Good Luck.

She finds it fun to embarass me on purpose.

 

[ChameleonRave]

Well, I would just sternly sit down with her and see if she can stop, if she doesn't have your dad bring you?

Tell her that you are mature and you don't enjoy being teased especially when you are going to a new school. Can you grandmother take you? If your dad can't.

My grandma is bat sh*t crazy when she doesn't have her meds and she's in Washington. My dad is even worse than my mom about embarassing me.

It is likely your mother cares about you, and that will be her primary motivation for attending open house, as well as to find out if she as a parent needs to understand any policy or what have you. Youre not going to be able to stop her from coming, so make the best of it.

whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger.

If mother embarasses you, Laugh at her / the situation. Nothing disfuses better than laughing.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

When I'm nervous I laugh like a hyena on drugs that is being suffocated, gagged, and slow mo-ed.

If I don't make it out alive, my signature tells you what to do.

As a Mum myself, I would like to add that it is our job to embarrass you kids! It's what we do best, whether it be intentional or unintentional - no matter what parents do, there is the possibility of being embarrassed by them! You kids are pretty good at showing us up in return too though! Your Mum wants to be there to support you - there are probably a lot of other kids that wish their Mum was around to take them, embarrassment or not, or that their Mum would at least take an interest in them. You are lucky to have supportive parents, even if it doesn't always seem like it! Once you are a parent yourself and the boot is on the other foot, you will understand!

Very true!! My daughter is 19 and I look for ways to embarrass her. She just rolls her eyes at me now but she has plenty of stories from younger days that still horrify her!

Seriously, be glad you have a mom that cares enough to go. Those open houseback to school nights events are incredibly dull and awkward. I only went because I cared about my kids.

Good luck with tonight. I hope it goes well for you. Don't be embarassed by your parents. Mine used to do it all the time and I decided that I could sit there and hate it or play along. Playing along made it much less embarassing and eventually built a better relationship with them. Tell us how it goes.

PS how are you getting there.... Boat. Your area seems to be a bit wet.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

She embarassed me plenty of times, but I got her back by telling the employee at the store we went to after that she was a grandma, I called her slow, so she told my mom when she came out "it's okay for grandmas to be slow".

 

[gerhartrx]

haha. I used to flinch when she would put her arms around me on purpose. We got a ton of weird looks from that. Or when I was on crutches and had a broken leg, people would ask me what happened and I would tell them an elaborate story about my mom being upset with me because I spilt some water on the floor.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Worst part is she got me right back, I was trying on a shirt and she yelled across the store "ARE THEY SQUEEZING YOUR BOOBIES?!"

 

[gerhartrx]

That's great! Seems like you guys tease each other just the same.

 

[Elizadolots]

I'll join the other Moms and say: that's our job!

I'll also offer this: it's your reaction that makes it fun for her. If you don't want her to do it, stop making a big deal about it when she does. When the spit covered thumb does its clean up, say "thank you! Did you get it all?" She'll give it up when you start appreciating it.

Between the report button and the post number. Without her meds my grandma literally FORCES us to listen to gospel, read the bible (I had the unfortunate occurance of sharing a hotel room with her on vacation, she tried to read me the entire bible, luckily grandpa came to the rescue!).

I just point out the flaws in the bible and argue politics. I miss my grandma
