9 year old daughter overly sensitive

I laugh at myself all the time. I don't care if I look like a dork. I am sort of a dork. LOL

However, if I fell like that in front of everyone and her she would be incredibly embarrassed. Part of this is I believe my husband's side of the family. They're all about looking proper and in control all the time. His mother was an alcoholic but it was hidden and everyone pretended everything was OK.

I want to fall like someone on a sitcom. . . squirt milk out my nose laughing. . . you think that would work? LOL

Sometimes my kids will get easily embarrassed in front of family or whatever. I try to explain to them that they make themselves look more silly when they retreat and turn in instead of laughing about it, but maybe they need to learn from example!
