There is no doubt that parents, at one point or another, will embarrass their children. A recent survey out of the U.K. found that the parent most likely to have an embarrassing moment with their child... is dad.
Over 2,000 13- to 21-year-olds were polled and 60 percent said that their dads are "lame." Among the reasons: "poor fashion choices and bad haircuts." According to The Huffington Post, a spokesperson for Specsaver, the British company conducting the survey, said that he wasn't surprised by the results. “Most of us have been embarrassed by our old man at some point,” he said.

Both of them are epic, but my mom might embarrass me first, not my dad.
Most of my life my dad was Super Man to me.
I'm sure some day I will embarrass my daughter. I hope that she will see me for what I try to do for her rather than a couple of embarrassing incidents.
If my kids need me I will be there in a heartbeat. They know that. That is all that matters.
My step dad filled in the spot quickly though, and even though he embarrasses me every now and then, I never have thought he was lame.
I wonder how many of them are going to regret saying that 20 years from now. I bet it will be a lot.
