When Parental Embarrassment Feels Overwhelming: My Honest Struggle

Lately, I’ve found myself feeling deeply embarrassed by my boy’s behavior, and it’s weighing on me more than I ever expected. Whether it’s her loud outbursts in public or the way she challenges every rule at home, I sometimes feel like I’m losing control—and I can’t handle it anymore. I know every parent faces moments like these, but the shame and frustration are starting to overshadow the joy I once felt. I’m trying to remind myself that parenting isn’t about perfection, but some days, it’s just so hard to let go of the embarrassment. Has anyone else felt this way? How do you cope when your child’s actions leave you feeling exposed and vulnerable?
