11 Embarrassing Things Your Mom Does

It seems like you can't run away from the "mom embarrassment" fast enough, but it always leads to a good laugh..well maybe 5 years down the road.

11 Embarrassing Things Your Mom Does
Kate Rotunno

We all have parents that drive us nuts, tell embarrassing stories in front of our friends, and act like crazy people in public. Finding a place to hide can seem like a real challenge in these moments.


1. Trying to use the language of the "cool kids"

“That’s so fetch”…no, mom, no.


2. Wearing her clothes from the 70s

I can not claim her as my own in that outfit. Please get me out of here asap.


3. Throwing it back to the childhood memories

“She had the cutest tooshie ever. Here I'll go get the photo album.” NO, my bowl cut and my butt is for absolutely no one to see. Someone could go blind looking at that.


4. Watch out there’s a car there

She goes to grab your hand when you cross the street because apparently you can’t handle the streets on your own.


5. Honey you haven’t shaved your legs in days. You should get on that.

Mom, none of my friends need to know my hygiene routines. Please stop.


6. The Shimmy and shake is still a thing

No, mom, it is not and no one needs to see any of that shake.


7. LOL, *emoji* *emoji* *emoji*

Do you even know what all those emojis are? What is the purpose of trying to use as many emojis as possible? One will suffice or if you are really feeling crazy, three is enough.


8. Ohhh that boy is cute go talk to him

Ma, trying to set me up with every boy you see clearly isn’t working. Single status at an all time high.


9. So the birds and the bees

We’ve had this talk already, can we please skip it? I don’t want to hear about you and Steve and your back seat ever ever again.


10. Shares your profile pictures on Facebook

No ma, don’t share every photo I post. And it’s always accompanied by an embarrassing comment lke, “Isn’t my princess perfect?” Living under a rock right then and there sounds fantastic.


11. I told your aunt about that butt rash you had.

Why mom why. No one needs to know about my butt rash. What’s even worse is when you get texts from your moms friends telling your how to cure your butt rash…uhhhh.


Even though mothers can be super embarrassing, we still love them. Plus their home cooked meals always make up for their embarrassment..most of the times.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
