(1,788 posts)if you are a parent of a teenager, have you never "embarrassed" them....I know that I have. A kiss in public, singing in public, linking arms in public....yes, I have gotten in trouble for all of those things, and yes, I did it on purpose. My mom would kiss me on the lips when I was in high school and link arms with me while walking in the mall...I was mortified. I came out OK. I tease my kids....I have to admit, it's hard for my daughter to be too mad at me giving her a hug when her friends do it to me, but she still likes to carry on. My daughter doesn't feel like I'm bullying her and I do back off if she's not in a good mood.
Sometimes having fun with your kids, even while they are in trouble, is not a bad thing. I have a feeling if I did that my kids would laugh their butt off....actually, I know they would, because they are always trying to do stupid things to me
