The shame: when your parents turn you red

same: utter “earth, open and swallow me up now” humiliation.
DOLLY reveals the trick to maintaining a good relationship
with your folks when they’re at their most cringe-worthy and
has some hot tips on how you can get them to take the shame
factor down a notch.

kinds of awkward. DOLLY shares the secrets to having icky
friendship confrontations so you can clear the air as
painlessly as possible and get on with the good stuff.
