Kids that were at the age of six were found to be the most likely to embarrass their parents.
" As far as specific moments, many parents (not so) fondly remember their children shouting inappropriately in public (33%) or taking their clothes off in public (28%). Other popular embarrassing moments included respondents’ kids accidentally taking something from a store without paying for it (27%), throwing tantrums (26%), refusing to leave the car (20%), and breaking a store display (21%)."
The survey was conducted by OnePoll.
