We all love our families, but let’s face it – they can be a little bit embarrassing sometimes. Whether it’s your dad telling terrible jokes or your aunt wearing a hat that’s two sizes too small, there’s no escaping the cringe-inducing moments that come with being part of a family. Here are the top 5 most embarrassing things your family will do in public, and how to survive them:

1. Dance like nobody’s watching. Your family loves to break out into spontaneous dance parties, whether it’s in the middle of a crowded restaurant or at a family gathering. The key to surviving this is to join in – the more you resist, the more embarrassing it becomes. Plus, you might just have some fun!
2. Share TMI. Your uncle loves to talk about his latest colonoscopy, or your cousin oversharing about their dating life. The key to surviving this is to deflect – ask them questions about themselves to redirect the conversation away from uncomfortable topics.
3. Dress like it’s still the 80s. Your mom insists on wearing shoulder pads and leg warmers, or your dad still rocks a mullet. The key to surviving this is to embrace it – make fun of their fashion choices, but in a loving way. Bonus points if you can convince them to update their style!
4. Take too many photos. Your family is always taking selfies and group photos, no matter where you are or what you’re doing. The key to surviving this is to smile and go along with it – after all, they’re just trying to capture memories.
5. Be too loud. Your family is never afraid to speak their minds, even if it means shouting across a crowded room. The key to surviving this is to laugh it off – make a joke about how you’re all a little bit crazy, but that’s what makes you family.

At the end of the day, our families are the ones we love the most, even if they embarrass us sometimes. So the next time your family does something cringe-worthy in public, take a deep breath, laugh it off, and remember that you wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.
