My mom has to work at Mcdonalds , i'm so embarassed please help?

our family is really struggling financially, and my (single) mom can't find work anywhere in this small town. so she went for a job interview at mcdonalds. I don't mean to sound stuck up,rude or anything like that..but kids at my school, their parents all have good careers..nobody's parent works at a take away place like mcdonalds.





Majority of my friends know my mom,and will see her working at mcdonalds..and i have no idea what to say when they ask me about it. I'm so ashamed!!





does anyone have any advice?|||Those other parents shouldn't matter. After all, your family is struggling. So what if your mom works at mcdonalds? Would you rather be living on the streets or an orphanage? If its such a big problem, maybe you should work too to help pay the bills. After all, you are living under her roof, eating her food, using her electricity, etc. You don't pay for any of that stuff so the least you can do is appreciate her. If I were you, I'd be ashamed for even thinking this, shows what a lousy daughter you are %26gt;.%26gt;|||Hi Sabrina





Well Ive never been under your circumstances but i don't think you should be worrying about embarrassment i think you should realize your mother is doing all of this for you and your family she working at a take away food because she loves you and wants you to have the best possible life...i know it would be embarrassing but if anyone teases you just turn the other cheek and realize they don't know your situation and they don't know how kind and generous your mother is





Jenn|||Embarassed???? Nope. You're being UNGRATEFUL.





Your mom has to work her *** off at McDonalds for your sake! She could have just leave you to fend for yourself.


Besides, your friends are busybodies. I wouldn't consider them as friends. These are personal questions and they can't say **** about it. They cannot force your mother to choose a better career.





Also, you'll learn something from this situation. Try not to end up like your mother or else your children will suffer the same fate like you have.





Don't make your mother life like hell. She sacrificed so much for you and the least you can do is to show some respect for her.|||don't be ashamed, accept things as the way they are it's really the only way





besides your mom is doing to support her family i find that very honorable





who cares what snobby kids think. just ignore them if they bother you because if they judge you based on that they are not worth your time or concern





so yeah. get them out of your mind, love your mother for the sacrifices she makes and live your life.|||Really? So you would rather admit to your friends and their parents that you are homeless and living on welfare? Your personal "social standing" is nothing compared to the struggle your mother has been going through -- trying to pay the bills and support your ungrateful behind with no income. You should be thankful that she found a job in this economy!!|||you have so many misconceptions and misplaced values. instead of feeling ASHAMED of your mother, love her and understand her position. many women do tricks, sell drugs when they're against the wall.


your mom is doing honest, sincere work to put food into your mouth.


when you grow old you will regret all these false values.





those kids in school who you want to be with on a level playing field or wanna impress, many of them will never genuinely love you but your mother will. she will always have your back.





grow up and pray to god for giving you a loving mother. love is more important than self image, being in the cliq etc etc.|||If anyone makes any comments about it, just say "I am really glad my Mom is doing the best she can. This is just what she'll need to do until another job opens up"





Times are really bad right now for work. at least your mom has the chance to work - lots of people are on welfare ... at least your friends won't see you and her in line at the homeless shelter because she is working to support you guys :)





I am proud of her ... you are lucky :)|||In New York that's pretty normal lol. But yeah, if your friends have a problem with it that's not cool, and I'm sure if you told them you guy's were really struggling and it was serious then they'd understand. If they don't there f'd up. Or you can always make up something and say it's recreational? Hope this helps (:|||You should feel proud of your mom. Not to sound rude but you are being an inconsiderate snob. Your mom is probably stressed out and I'm sure it doesn't help that her daughter is ashamed of her. She's trying to take care of you and put food on the table. Times are hard right now. Support your mom and grow the **** up.|||Yeah, you could get a job yourself to help, and thank your mom for lowering herself to do whatever it takes to put food on the table for you.





You'd have to be a real jerk to say any of this to her. She's probably hurting like hell already. So cut her some slack and do what you can to help.|||as embarrassed as you may be NEVER mention it to your mom! Imagine how she feels!! If anyone teases you, they are not your true friends. More than likely (even though this isn't going to come out right) they wont tease you to your face and they will be respectful of your mom. it wont matter once you are out of school and it takes quite a wonderful mother to put her pride aside and fo whats best for her family.|||Don't be ashamed. I am very proud of your mom, you should be too!





My mom doesn't work at all!


She has to humiliate herself by begging my biological father for money. My biological father used to abuse my mom and he was arrested for domestic violence 12 years ago. NOW ThATS EMBARASsING





at least your mom has enough self respect to provide


you sound like such a spoiled brat be grateful|||Relax: it's no biggie. Lots of women work at MacD, of all ages - there is no shame in it at all. It's not likely that your friends will tease you about it and if any do, then THEY are the losers not you. Just be cool about it and if anyone asks just tell the truth: that's the best way to deal with almost anything anyway!!|||You should be proud that at least your mom has a job. There are people out there struggling for a job with big debts and in danger of loosing everything. Maybe after working at McDonalds for a while she might get promoted to a higher rank! Anything is possible, good luck :)|||Just tell the truth, there was no money coming in and your mom had a really hard time finding a job, she was lucky McDonalds hired her.|||Embarrassed of your mom working ?^^


Would you rather be in a street corner begging for money with a sign saying # Will work for food # ?


You should be proud of your mother trying so hard to help her family.|||Here's an idea. Tell your friends your mum working part time to study how to manage a franchise from the inside. After few months she is planning on opening her own mcdonalds or franchise business. That would buy you some time.|||when anyone asks u about ur mom's job , just ignore them








anyways JOB IS A JOB no matter wat it is %26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt; [ this can be a direct answer ]

Be proud of it. Your mom rocks.|||Honey, shes the only mom you have and the good Lord says to respect your parents.|||you can say to them:


THATS RIGHT! i get free burgers and ****


or


SHUT THE **** UP or my mum spits in your burger


or


my moms milkshake brings the boys to the yard|||F people first of all. A job is a job.|||Without being rude?....... No comment.


Peace.|||Stop being such a snob. You eat the food she buys, don't you?|||1st, be thankful that your mom has a job. It's not that she has to work at McDonald's, it's that she gets to work at Mcdonald's.She is doing what she can to take care of her family. I, for one,am proud of your mom.You should be proud of her too. She's not sitting back and letting welfare support her. Right now there are people out there with Masters and PhDs who can't get any kind of a job, and would gladly work at McDonald's. Truth be known, your friends parents may be having a tougher time right now than you know. I heard a story on TV (60 minutes I think)that this depression is really worse than the Great Depression of th 1930s, and that the unemployment rate is actually closer to 17% than 10%.If your little friends, and I do mean little if they have nasty comments to say about your mom's job tell them she's doing what she can so you have food on the table, a roof over your head and clothes on your back and an education.|||My advice: Tell your mom 'thank you'. Not having food to eat or a place to live is worse than having your friends getting snooty because your mom is taking a literal "McJob". When I was little (the 70's), my mother worked a lot of crappy jobs to keep us fed, it was a long time before I appreciated what it cost her emotionally to do that (she was a trained accountant, but couldn't get certified in the state my father lived, and thought it was important to stay where I could have a relationship with him after the divorce).





Seriously, your mom probably doesn't feel any better about having to work at McDonald's than you feel about what your friends will think. Make sure you don't make it any worse.|||Yea that does suck. Maybe after a few years she can transfer to taco bell?
