Parents love their kids and kids love their parents.
While that theory is worth its salt, there are a number of things that parents do that make kids everywhere cringe. Whether these shameful acts are intentional or not, parents have the uncanny ability to humiliate their kids at any given moment.
Offspring beware: this is a list of some of the most embarrassing things parents do that embarrass their kids…
1. Public Displays of Affection
To a child, there are few things more embarrassing than getting a sloppy kiss on the cheek from mum, or a bear hug from dad in public. Especially around their peers!
2. Trying to Operate Modern Technology
Some parents are tech savvy—others are not. Parents that are not so knowledgable in the world of technology often embarrass the hell out of their children.

Nothing freaks kids out more than when you try to talk and dress like them! Give it a try.
5. Posting on Social Media
Social media is a great way to keep up with your kids and their friends. They probably hate when you do it, but parents thrive at embarrassing their kids!
6. Dancing
Few things on this planet can bring you great joy, while simultaneously scarring your children for life. Dancing is one of those things.

Bringing home new arm candy is quite the chore for some people. Often times it feels more like an interview than a meet and greet.
10. Bragging About Their Accomplishments
Parents tend to boast and showcase their children’s achievements. It’s rewarding for parents, mortifying for children!
