My mom embarrassed me at school. How to deal with it?

Question

So one day, there's a flex day at my high school.

I'm a freshmen currently, and that day, my mom was suppossed to pick me up from school. (Usually my brother does)

So after school that day, I immediately call my mom to see where she was.
...Phone says the line is busy, so I call it again.
Still no response.

After that, I talk to my friends and look out to see if she was anywhere around, but there were so many cars around that I couldn't find her car.
So I call one more time to find out it's still busy.

After that, I just continue talking to my friends, waiting for her to call, but she doesn't.
So eventually she somehow comes behind me, interrupts our conversation and starts yelling and hitting me in front of my friends saying I didn't call..even though I used the right number.
As she pulled me back to her car, my friends yell bye, but I could tell they were gonna laugh while my back was turned..

It was a pretty embarrassing moment to behold.
How do I deal with this

Answer 1

Your mom didn't embarrass you, she embarrassed herself.
You feel embarrassment because your mom made it as if it is your fault rather than her own. Don't fall for her guilt trip.
This is an excellent chance to know who from your friends is worth keeping.
Those that laugh behind your back are those that you are better of without.
As to your mom, when the dust is settled, calmly show her your calls on your phone as well as on hers, and tell her, you know that she is stressed out, and that you will be in a better position to help her out if she starts considering you part of a solution rather than part of the problem. You want to show her that you are no longer the kid, and that you are a responsible teen who looks up to her. Grownups like to feel that you still "need them" even though you may not. Seeking their advice (even for Small things - and even if you don't take their advice) gives them a feeling of worthiness, and gets them to be closer to you...
Good Luck

Answer 2

as quickly as I study the call of your question, i presumed it became into going to be some thing that could desire to no longer embarrass you and that she probable did no longer do something yet.... Yeah that became into rather uncalled for. in actuality, i'm a shielding mom and can circulate out of my thank you to determine my daughter's wellbeing yet I do exactly no longer see how telling human beings issues approximately my daughter does so and surely disgrace ón her for her blatant disrespect at school. What does you convey eye-catching to different pupils have something to do with something? regrettably you could no longer extremely do something until eventually of course you desire to rock the boat and say she is loitering ón college grounds which she style of became into. Or if I have been you i might probable basically permit it circulate via fact that she isn't in contact or perhaps basically extremely understand what she did incorrect. She probable is genuinely no longer at your college returned any time quickly. interior the mean time, do no longer proportion something embarrassing together with her.

Never mind your friends. You will live. I am sure that it could have happened to any one of them too. You need to calmly ask your mom for a moment to talk. Ask her if she agrees that what she did was out of line? Have you not earned her respect? Tell her that she knows you are not accustomed to telling her lies. Or are you? If you are truly deserving of an apology, then you should get one. As far as your friends...Just say that you and your mom have had a talk, about the other day and it won't happen again. They will secretly admire the fact that you handled the situation and continue to hold your head up high. No body's perfect...not even us moms..

Answer 4

When your mom saw you just talking to your friends, she may have assumed you hadn't bothered to call her, and she became angry. You know, moms have a lot they are responsible for, like picking their sons up from school in addition to maintaining a home for the sons to live in, working to provide food for the sons to eat, and so on. So moms get short-tempered sometimes. I'm sure each of your friends has gone through something similar at one time or another, you are not unique in that regard. Once you are an adult you and your mom may even look back and laugh together at the day she got mad at you in front of your friends. At least that's what happened with my sons.

Be grateful that you have a mom who cares about you and is responsible for you. Many kids out there have nobody.

Answer 5

That would be embarrassing. You should talk to your mom and tell her how that made you feel. She should have at least waited until it was private. On a positive note, your friends probably weren't laughing at you, but at your mom. You were probably being pitied for having a mother like that. Don't worry about it. It isn't your fault that your mom acted that way. As a mother myself, I'm telling you, embarrassing our children seems to be a habit! We don't mean to, but we are human too, so we're going to make mistakes. That goes for your friends' parents as well. I'm sure they've been embarrassed as well.

Answer 6

She should have been reported for child abuse. No one, child or adult deserves that kind of behavior. I empathize with you, my mom did the same one time at a dance and offered to take me to the police station, when I agreed, she changed her mind. I talked to my counselor on the following Monday and we wound up on counselling.

Things got a little better after that; but, only after I turned 18 and moved out did we resolve our issues. Find a trusted adult and get suggestions for ways to handle problems in the future.

Answer 7

As for your friends possibly laughing, don't worry about it...EVERYONE deals with embarrassment. I'm sure they feel for ya & sometimes people laugh because of uncomfortable situations.
As for your ma, well, she's your ma & you'll have to live with her until you move out so you'll have to just hang in there & try not to tick her off. Sometimes mothers get ticked and ya just have to survive those moments...it sucks but we can do it!
Hang in there!

Answer 8

Mothers never ad mite when their wrong. Live with it, I had to. In my case it was father that was the A hole. Did you try calling her number later, you cell phone mite be crossing a number up; they do do that, I had one that kept calling 911: you want embarrassing think how i felt when 9 cop cars pulled up with guns drawn. All because my new phone was wired wrong!

Answer 9

its OK once in a while parents are going to embarrass you but there is no way to change it you just have to try and make everyone forget about it (your friends should not laugh there parents are probably just embarrassing)

Answer 10

Everyone has been embarrassed by their mom or dad while they were teenagers.

You and your friends will get over it, but I'd talk with her about how her actions made you feel.
