For parents of misbehaving kids (which, let's face it, is all parents), embarrassment is one of the most effective ways of turning the tables. Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of a child who might've gotten a little too big for their britches more than being shown up in front of their mates.

Kids get to a stage, usually around their early teens, when they just find their parents to be eye-rollingly cringeworthy. They want to strike out in the world and find their own identities - and consequently begin to rebel a little against the 'authority figures' that are their parents. It can be a difficult period for both child and parent, but with some understanding and good humor, it can be easily negotiated.

This list, inspired by a Nick Harvey tweet, is a classic of the genre: Mortified children recounting the horror of their most embarrassing parent-related moments. Sure, some of these parents put their kids through a public shaming entirely by accident; but there are also plenty of vengeful moms and dads who knew exactly what they were doing!

Scroll down below to check out the list for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    My dad was a geetar picker/front man.......He also mortified me and then made me proud so many times over the years. He played country and 50's rock. It took me most of my 47 years knowing and loving him to finally win my argument, no dad, the Beatles didn't ruin rock n roll.....I believe us attending one of Sir Paul's shows helped me close the door on that one. I miss my sweet poppa too ;-)

    Why be embarrassed though? I don't understand why anyone would be embarrassed by their parents unless their parents were rude, racist or bullies. I would never have been embarrassed by my parents. I wish I had my parents; my mom died when I was two and my dad died when I was 17.

    My mom came home once, pulled me into her room and slammed the door. "I found out something about you today that was worse than finding out your sister (16) is pregnant", pause, "you smoke". I had taken said sister to the doctor and smoked in the waiting room, the nurse ratted me out to mom. Please note, mom smoked two packs a day, and dad smoked 3.

Minutes later in the next aisle, we hear a huge fart and my dad oh so politely apologize by saying "oh sorry, I thought you were my wife". We found out later this was after he backed up to some strange lady and let it fly smh.

    This is a bit uncomfortable to read, you can show anatomy without exposing yourself to your kids at that age. Books, educational videos etc. I sat down and watched “what is happening to me” and “where did I come from” with my daughter and then afterwards I answered any questions she had and had a chat.

    Religious nutcases, or just nutcases (as in abstinence only advocates) in general who think that because they don't know about it they won't engage in it?

    Sex education classes should be approved by medical professionals for accuracy and child psychologists for comprehensiveness, not parents

    This is the responsibility of parents. Unfortunately not all parents teach, or even should teach their children about sex. Just the basic biology, with pros and cons of birth control methods, abstinence, multiple partners, abortion, having children and at what age, etc. As well as the importance of the word "NO" and your right to say it, and the importance of hearing it, and how to recognize "NO" even when it's not stated.

    Pre-approving? I don't think my parents ever once stepped foot in my school, let alone showed up for pre-approval of subject material. I get that we gen-x'ers were raised to be feral nihilists, but this goes above and beyond. The guys' response was hilarious though.

    As an Aussie Mum I actually really like this idea. Not for approval but so I would be prepared for question and understand the context. Having said that we have open, age appropriate discussions continually.

    Is that at school? I think that's a wise thing to do. Pre-teen sex education, and get the parents approval prior doing that to make sure if the contents are agreeable.

    I had a similar experience at a halloween costume contest at a run down mall in the 80's. My mom and her best friend had me dress up in a short skirt, high heels (that I couldn't walk in) and some bad makeup and told me to tell the judges I was a street walker. I was a very innocent 9 yr old girl and didn't know what a street walker was *sigh*

    And this is why we need to change our perspectives. "Oh no, not as A GIRL? The horror and shame of being dressed as a GIRL! My parents thought it would be funny to humiliate me by dressing me as a GIRL!" I know this is not the purpose of the post... but I would love to see a day when being dressed as a "girl" is not humiliating and shameful. I get that the situation was awful at the time... but it shouldn't be. If the roles were reversed the god-awful horror would have been in no way as embarrassing. Do you kinda get what I mean? Not trying to be 'that guy' just an observation in the comments section on a fun post.

    Had a similar experience once in Germany: mum asks for a roasted chicken at a stall, and the guy replies asking 'Ein gansche?', which means a complete chicken, not half of it. My mum, being Flemish understood 'A goose?' ('een ganse?') and replies 'No, no, a chicken!'

    I don't care what year it, if you're 21 you do not want to your mom in Daisy Dukes.

    Good Grief! The girl was 19 - an adult. Not an appropriate way to treat an adult daughter.

    Haha, I was outside having a ciggie (when I smoked) at a shopping centre when a teenager approached me and asked me for a smoke. and I asked them for ID, they said they left it at home but I refused to give them one.

    When I graduated from high school my dad wore an expensive double-breasted dark blue suit, my mom a skirt with matching jacket and I wore my first black suit. The other parents wore everyday clothes and some of the students jeans and T-shirts. Then our principal walked in, wearing leisure pants, sandals and a short sleeved shirt, no jacket, no tie, carrying our certificates in a brown cardboard box. When my dad saw him, he left, because he didn't "want to make a fool of himself." I always thought, he could have stayed for my sake (my mom did).

    I would have been devastated if my parents didn’t come to my high school grad (if I had one that is).

    Plus that wasn't even the worst part of it all. Horrible for older siblings to do that to the poor child.

    My dad did pinch my a**e once... . We were getting off a bus and so I didn't make a scene. I was about 14 years old at the time.

    My mother-in-law only recently trashed our toilet seat when crashing into it, drunk from the grappa and wine she had in the Italian restaurant we visited. In her defense, the glass for the grappa was enormous...

    No because the other two are also sexual things so it means the same thing.
