What’s the most embarrassing thing a parent has done to you?

When I was 14 I got into the biggest fight with my mom ever. Biggest fight but it lasted like less than 30 seconds. I dont remember how it all started but the middle and ending I do. I remember my mom wanted me to do something, but for whatever reason I didnt want to and I ended up locking myself in the bathroom. She yelled and yelled for me to come out but I wouldn't. I eventually realized locking myself in there with no other way out was pointless so I unlocked the door and stepped out into the dinning room. All my siblings were at the table doing homework and trying to ignore me. Then, my mom comes out of the kitchen and shoves me up against the table, causing all five of my siblings look up at us. I was taken aback, I did not now how to respond to my mother pushing me like that because it never happened before. I'm not 100% sure what was going through my head but I was not scared or angry enough to return the gesture. I knew she was mad but holy hell not mad enough to attack me in a sense. Right after she shoved me, she kepted her distance very close to me. My butt hit the edge of the table causing me to bend backwards. When I tried to pull myself up, I raised my arms across my face and chest because with her standing nearly on my toes, I thought for sure she was going to swing or something. THIS BACKFIRED SO HARD She yell "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!", grabbed me and pushed me towards the living room, all the while slapping every inch of my face. I tried backing away but she kept advancing towards me still swinging like crazy. I was dizzy and fell over onto the couch on my back but my mom hopped on top of me and gave me two more good slaps while yelling "DONT EVER TRY TO HIT YOUR MOTHER!". She went upstairs and started crying. I stumbled off the couch with a beat red face and shook my head to collect myself. I looked up and all my siblings who were staring at me with wide eyes of disbelief as to what just went down. Nobody saw that coming. Later that night we had a family meeting and discussed what happened earlier that day. I understood what my mom said and her end of it and she was understanding of mine as well so we were able to move pass this easily.

But to sum it up, it was extremely embarrassing to get the shit slapped out of my face by my mother in front of all my younger siblings. Yeah and also having them think I would hit our mom..
