text: why do parents and siblings get a thrill out of embarrassing one another? ive never once done this to them..and when i have a female friend come over to pick me up..they say theyll do things to embarrass me...is there any particualar reason why? and how can i get them to stop..ive always been nice that is just something we do as parents or brothers and sisters. they love you though and don't really mean anything by it. what you can do is have a talk with them and tell them exactly how it makes you feel..
