Goodness, go on your own beach vacation.

Oh realllllly? So these kids are using their credit cards with big limits to book beach rentals? They’re using their cash to stock the fridge for the week? They’re buying their own Ubers, booze, etc.? Alllllll on their own dime?

Oh, wait. Let me fix that for you: parents are posting about what is essentially a vacation that THEY ARE PAYING FOR that they are not on. Congrats, because you used your credit card to book that rental, and you are violating the terms and conditions, and you are paying for alcohol, you’re on the hook.

Hope you’re paying for STD treatments and abortions, too. Your kids are gonna need them.

Yes, realllllly. Giving your kid a credit card for beach week doesn't mean it's normal to come posting on here about the "latest from beach week" as if you are there or something. Like it's your beach week. It's depressing.

If you don’t get the difference between “them going on a vacation without you” and “them going on a vacation THAT YOU PAID FOR AND ARE ULTIMATELY LIABLE FOR without you,” you are incredibly stupid.

You realize there are more than posters on this particular thread, don't you?

More recently,
A pair of teens who were of adult age were arrested following an altercation with Dewey Beach police in the early morning hours of May 28. Not sure how beach week is any different than what may happen when they go to college. If they are 18 they are legally an adult in this country. We don't necessarily hear of every adult whether they are 18 or 48 who get into this situation, do we?

Lesson learned from that one is 1 – don’t steal from local stores. 2 – don’t publicly argue, disrupting the peace in the middle of the night and then give false identities to police 3 – don’t run from police.

You forgot the last one. When your friend is caught by police, do not return to fight them.

These are teens who are by law an adult, so your adult children. If you don't like it, try changing the law.

I went to high school beach week and had a blast so I’m trashy too. Gotta pass it down.

Love this!

I come from a long line of nerdy squares. We’re all the nice girls who never get in trouble and make friends with similarly straight arrows. My mom went to beach week after graduation, I did the same, and my dd went this week. None of us got drunk, smoked, used illegal drugs or had sex during beach week. Getting sunburned was the most regrettable thing any of us did.

Haha. No SPF 70 back then?

Dh and I both grew up in the area and went to beach week. It’s a tradition and lot of fun if your kid isn’t looking for trouble. After all, they’re going to be in college and making their own daily decisions in not too long. STDs don’t only happen at beach week.

The binge drinking and “free love” atmosphere is heightened during Beach Week, and you know it.

Yep and it was a great week for me in 2001. The kids will be alright.

If they want to pay for their own college, or forgo college and move out and get a job, I’m sure they’d have a great time at beach week.

We aren’t a trashy family.

No you failed as a parent came on social media to announce that you suck at parenting. Genius.

This doesn't belong in Adult Children. It should be moved to the Teens board. Come on, people. Yes, 18-year-olds are legally adults. They are also teens, and we have a board for that, where people with teenagers can talk. On this board, we talk about actual adults.
