Mom, You're Fired! by Nancy K. Robinson (1989 Trade Paperback)
Whether it's at home, at the grocery store, at a parent-teacher conference, or even when a friend is over, Tina's mother has ways of embarrassing her. She dresses weird, she sings in public, and does all other kinds of typical embarrassing-mother-things. Tina is so ashamed of her sometimes-wacky mom that she tells her visiting friend that the woman in her home is actually her babysitter. This and a handful of embarrassments lead to a climax that teach Tina that lying to her friends is not a solution, and that her mother has feelings, too. iv +108pp.
