There are many teenagers in life whose parents dont support them in any way,Be grateful that your parents show an interest in you and want to spend time with you helping out the class Your mum should be allowed to go on the field trip. If you are concerned about being teased by other kids then just talk to her and find some common ground that will both make you happy.

Don't concentrate on 'being embarassed by your parents' as a reason not to have your mother along as a chaperone on your school field trip. EVERY kid is embarassed to have their parents come along and observe them and their friends behaving or misbehaving on a trip.
Just say, 'Mom, no one wants their parent to be a chaperone so please don't come. Nothing personal'
She might understand. If not, and she really wants to go, then let her and just relax and have a good time while you are on the trip. Everyone will be so busy, no one will care that it is your mom. There would be other moms along too.

It breaks my heart to hear that you are embarrassed by your parents. You did not say why you feel the way you do so it is hard to give helpful advice. If you think you are too old for your mom to go with you then talk to her. If your mom has any physical problems, that is something she can not help. You should be thankful you still have your mom. Some kids lose their parents and when they are gone that is FINAL.!!!! No more chances to say I love you.I bet if she was asked, would she say she is proud of you?

It is perfectly normal to not want your patents to accompany you on a trip. My mom and dad annoy me and embarrass me. But you soon find out that it is basically part of their job description to do that.
If you don't want her to come, just talk to her. " Mom, I love you and all, but I would prefer it if you didn't go on this field trip,"
If she wants to spend time with you suggest a time that you could both go hang out together doing something else. Or offer her chance to go on another field trip later on in the year.

Well when I was in the fourth grade I wanted my mom to go on all the feild trips. But in the fifth grade I noticed that I didn't want my mom to go on any of my feild trips. And one day I had to say "Mom, I think I want to go on my trips alone for now." It seems kinda harsh but soon they'll understand. And now I'm twelve and I have a feild trip coming up and my mom doesn't even seem to care.

I totally know what you mean! Just tell them that you and your friends want to have the day to yourselves, or even just say that some kids at school were teasing you about it so it might be best if she doesn't come. Reassure your mom that you love her, and offer to go out with her on the weekend or something.

Im like that too and i know you dont want to hurt her feelings so just tell her you dont feel comfortable with her comin gon the trip and give her a reason that doenst make her feel bad or make it seem like you are embarassed so just say that youre worried about you seeing bpoor behavior or something. worked for me.

It's a going-through- maturity thing. Try being 17, trying to get into a good university and learning less than 6 months ago your father is gay and has a boyfriend living in Paris!

I used to have the same problem... I just told her about that in a nice way and she now volunteer at my brother's school which is an elementary school... I think, you just have to tell her about your true feelings. Most teens have this problem (including your parents when they were young)
OR
Avoid meeting her at the school.... I mean try to not to go near her.

Note: At the age of 16, I realized that we should not listen to all the people around us. Now don't care what others think about my parents.

Just tell her how you feel. But if she's really insistant on going on the trip just tell her to act like normal civilized human beings, and not to embarass you in front of your friends.
