You told this mom to do what ever she chooses to do in such a way as to not "embarrass her wonderful child". Yikes.

And - Oh Pleeeze! We got a major battle going on!
Our kids are embarrassed by the way we wear our hair or our shoes, that's kids - You are giving a person advice on how to handle a very serious situation based on whether her kids will be embarrassed??? - now we are really gonna make a difference!

Moms and dads do not embarrass their kids by standing up bravely for what is right and true - they give them an example to follow!

Yes, I think you have an obligation to your child to conduct yourself in a dignified, and coherent manner when in their school and the presence of their friends. If you do not think it important to do so, that's your deal.
