DS2 First Lad’s Holiday….has he remembered everything?

[MonkeyTennis34]

He’s going to Portugal with 4 mates.
He's got T-shirts, shorts, trunks.
SPF, deodorant, shower gel,
Printing out boarding passes later.
Is there anything glaringly obvious they he’s forgotten?
Lots going on at home right now so I haven’t been on the ball 100%.

Passport 😂

Adapters for european plug sockets

Insurance and EHIC card.
Chargers and travel adapters

Honestly if he’s old enough to go on holiday, he should be old enough to pack and organise himself. These are good ops to build independence.

Condoms.

Ibuprofen , plasters , antiseptic cream . Hat , sunglasses . Chargers . Sliders .

Toothbrush, after sun, hat (you can hope)
paracetamol

Towel, toothbrush

Beach towel
mosquito repellent

Passports, ehic card or whatever its called now.
Alka seltzer is.
Photocopies of documents left in case.
Phone charger abd travel adapter
Sun cream (might be on original list i can't see while i type)
Travel sickness tablets if they plan on any boat activities
Couple of bin bags!! Always useful.
Soap towel etc

Rehydration vitamin c dissolvable tablets

He needs travel insurance paid for. Incase does something stupid /gets in an accident and needs to be medivacced back Ghic card.

Exactly. This is why we've got so many piss poor man babies. They're taught to be useless.

Sunglasses, hat, towel (if accommodation doesn’t have any ), condoms, ibuprofen/paracetomol for hangovers), toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, hair products

Condoms

INSURANCE!!!

Condoms

He’s 18, he needs to pack his own bag.
If he goes without his passport or any shoes he needs to learn from that mistake not have his mummy pack it for him

Condoms. Put them in his back yourself if he hasn't got them.

travel insurance and a GHIC card

Insurance docs, passport, hair gel, good dance moves, a strong stomach, paracetamol, aftersun, condoms.

grab an STI kit for when he gets back.

REMIND HIM to stay away from water - sea, rivers, swimming pools, bridges, diving boards if he has been drinking. The number of young men who come to harm in such circumstances is horrifying.

My colleague took a days leave last week to iron and pack for her 23 year old son … he sat playing computer games whilst instructing her on what clothes he wanted.

The response in the office was very much 😮😮

Why do some parents set their young adult children up to fail in life? It's mind boggling.

Painkillers
plasters
toothbrush and toothpaste
cash
adaptor plugs and chargers
EHIC
