31-year-old son refuses to eat with sheltered mom who asks for 'ferret sauce' at a Mexican restaurant: 'I think she comes off as ignorant and I get so embarrassed'

When you were young, you might have been mortified by everything your parents did or said. You cringed every time they made a bad joke to a server or shared a personal piece of information about you to a stranger. It's a rite of passage as a young person. As soon as you start to gain self-awareness, you start to think about all the ways it reflects back on you. All the things you wish you could change about the people who brought you into this world. But that tends to get better with time. As you grow up and spend less time with your parents, you might start to be charmed by their quirks. You relish those dad jokes made to unsuspecting waitresses. Because that's your dad, and he's allowed to make dad jokes. Everything tends to feel a little smaller as you grow up. But that's not what happened in this story. In this story, an adult son hadn't grown out of his embarrassment toward his mother. She kept mispronouncing things, and he couldn't take it any longer. Instead of being patient with her and trying to move through it, he wanted to write her off completely. Keep scrolling for the details of the story and see if you think it was justified.
