To think we are a generation of embarrassing parents

Only meaning this light heartedly.

Tik Tok!!! Just seen another video of Susie j verril and her chap being funny in a silly clip of Susie pretending to be a crocodile. I've got 30 year old mums on my Facebook dancing around the living room with pyjamas and a gin in their hand.

I just think thank god my mum was not able to access social media when I was growing up. I'd of been mortified lol!!!

I mean I know we are locked down. But I would not want footage of my parents doing press-ups and bouncing around together all over the internet lol.

This parents trying to be cool is getting cringey. Just my opinion. Grin

Every generation is embarrassing but no digital proof of our parents and grandparents Grin

When these 'cool' teens grow up and look back on their younger selves permanently recorded online, they'll be pretty embarrassed by themselves, too... so at least it's equal.

I am THRILLED that the internet wasn't the thing it is today when I was a teen. No hard evidence of my cringey exploits anywhere except in a cardboard box in the attic....

In the future we could see pics of the teenaged prime minister with a snapchat filter on them or flossing on YouTube and the people their age wouldn't probably think how unprofessional

Dear god. 30 is young. It's the perfect age to dance around with a gin in hand
