WTF with parents going on Spring Break with their kids?

You probably didn't get it back then either.
Old people who need validation from social media is why.
Also, what's with half the world taking off work for spring break. When I was a kid, the parents in my neighborhood left all the kids to fend for themselves.

Parents never grow up now. They still act like they're in high school. It's sad.
Have any of you ever been to a USC football game? The tailgates at their home games are wild displays of rich ass legacy parents and grandparents spending big bucks on big spreads of food and alcohol in an attempt to relive the college experience. It’s where you go to see grandma doing kegstands on a Saturday morning. It’s a really weird scene.
Occasionally I'll go to Cal Poly for something. Feels weird being on campus again at such an older age. Kids legit look like they're in highschool. Couldn't imagine partying with them. Would be awkward af.
Kegstand Grandmas is the name of my marching band.
I'd treat them just like my own kids: Noogies and indian burns. And no more sugar.
One of the greatest photos ever.
Sadly, the "fend for themselves" school of parenting ended 40 years ago.
As for going on spring break with your kid, I am guilty. Eight years ago, my son asked if I wanted to go on a surf trip to PR with his buddies for their spring break. Undoubtedly, he wanted me to pay for most everything. He also knew that I wouldn't interfere with what they wanted to do. There were a bunch of other kids there from UF, including a number of girls.
Good surf every day, and in the evening I would crack a beer and sit back and watch the antics. I can't remember another week in my life where I laughed so much. It was great.
And social media had zero to do with anything.
Thank you. Every detail provided with the exception of the most important one.
Also, any good snacks down there?
