MUMS TELLS ME OFF ALL THE TIME!

I get on well with my parents most of the time and I think we have a good relationship. When I have a problem, they are the first people that I turn to for help. For example,if people at shool pick on me, they will always be very sensitive and helpful. My parents also put up with me when I'm moody or lazy. Luckily, we don't fall out very often, but when we do,we make up and forget about it quickly! I really look up to them and respect them, but there's one thing that really annoys me. My mum always tells me off when I do something wrong, even for small things like leaving my shoes in the wrong place. The worst thing is that she tells me off in front of my friends. It's so embarrassing. What should I do?
