Let me count the ways

Lots of cancer
It’s snowing now on top of the 15” still on the ground
Everyone is rude
There are sink holes everywhere
Feline aides is rampant as is monkey pox
Inflation is double everywhere else in the country
Lead in the water, even the snow

Now that everyone has moved here from Draper I can’t find pineapples at the store anymore.

Spring Break Woes...

FulhamUte

Why is it a battle?

Comparison is the thief of joy

Nakedbootleg

and is also the reason so many are in crippling debt.

VACOUGFAN

And why many have mental health issues.

You're not alone! (Meant for OP)

I sometimes feel bad for those

Jimmy Rocket

The smart move is going to all of those places during non peak times.

This. Spring Break is an awful time to travel to popular tourist destinations.

Spring break is an awesome time to travel to international destinations

Sounds like it's time for your kids to make a gratitude list.

I just worked all week instead of going camping at the lake.

I was just joshin' with the ward explanation thing.

Just ask them if they use their vacations to review their progress on following

You need to change the way you view what's important

family is all going to Vegas in part for a spring break Taylor Swift concert

OU Cougar

Nope! Month end. I’m only going because I have Good Friday off as a work

JohnnyC

Definitely not this time of the year..

FulhamUte

Yes.... Yes you are! ; )

BlueTeach

I was pretty upset my friends all drove BMWs while I only drove a new Honda

Hypnotoad

3/22/23 8:22am

We never did anything like that for Spring Break, your family should be able

StarMan

3/22/23 8:22am

We did absolutely nothing.

cougaman

3/22/23 8:23am

It's not a competition--it sounds like you have a fun getaway planned

Social Media is a plague. Stop trying to keep up.

The Dark Knight

Why is Heber a bad thing?

JohnnyC

Oh, it's not...

Nice! Maybe we will😂

I don’t know why but much of Utah has a “keep up with the Jones” mentality. Good luck with that.

kalifi

3/22/23 8:26am

Its not just a Utah thing, it is everywhere.

The Dark Knight

3/22/23 8:28am

I’m not sure why people think that only exists in Utah.

WDaddy

3/22/23 8:30am

In some areas it is worse. It seems bigger in the Utah or California than the midwest IMO.

Baron

3/22/23 8:36am

Imo it's primarily demographics and where people live. Utah and California are both young states and

CSoul

3/22/23 8:44am

It is everywhere, but Utah I think is worse than most

LargeTalons

3/22/23 8:41am

My experience having lived in many places. Utah was the worst by far,

Acorn

3/22/23 8:54am

This is a good point

The Dark Knight

3/22/23 10:34am

Social media evens this out a lot. You surround yourself with the same people

SUAVO

3/22/23 10:38am

Its more of a problem in Utah and among mormons than anywhere else.

Backcountry

3/22/23 9:30am

It's easy to compare yourself to someone who is just like you in every way

LargeTalons

3/22/23 8:30am

Why do people think this is specific to Utah?

SUAVO

3/22/23 8:34am

And if you only knew how many people go into debt for those trips.

Adwight

3/22/23 9:21am

Doing nothing this spring so can do other cool stuff this summer.

3/22/23 8:27am

My kids just want to go camping but with this weather............

IGotAverageGifs

3/22/23 8:28am

Sounds like saying no more often might be a good thing for them.

3/22/23 8:29am

I'm guessing your Rose Bowl vacation sucked, and it's turned the kids

SJS

3/22/23 8:29am

The Rose Bowl/Disney vacation was a blast...

FulhamUte

3/22/23 8:34am

I don't recall ever going on a vacation over spring break. Either with my family growing up, or with my own kids.

Perseguir

3/22/23 8:30am

Stop trying to keep up with the Jonses

Indy Coug

3/22/23 8:33am

Heber and Midway are fun. Sounds like you had a great trip over Christmas.

Doogal McCougar

3/22/23 8:39am

Sounds like your kids have been hanging out on CB.

Never done anything for spring break. Kids go to grandmas house while we work.

BNcoug

Drives me nuts when my kids act entitled to be world travelers.

Wait a year or two.. This next recession is going to drain some of wallets

Not going anywhere. On the plus side my kids dislike traveling.

hydrocoug

3/22/23 8:54am

I grew up on a farm. There was no such thing as spring break

TheLoanArranger

3/22/23 8:56am

I would just tell my kids that we aren't rich like them. Same for everything

Acorn

3/22/23 8:59am

We're not even doing anything. At least your doing Heber.

Looks like you’re family travels plenty. California, Midway, and Hawaii 2x…

3/22/23 9:09am

Try to find another fun place you can travel to where Utah will lose. Too bad basketball season is over

Dont compare yourself to anybody else. Live for you.

Because of this I have muted my family members and friends on SM that flaunt it.

Adwight

3/22/23 9:35am

The worst is when they try to motivate others.

BNcoug

3/22/23 6:05pm

There used to be a time and generation which would be embarrassed flaunting

byukarl

3/23/23 7:40am

Many of these people who go on expensive vacations say they don't have money

Shihan

3/22/23 10:30am

Gloating and flaunting money or experiences comes from a place of insecurity

cougarsnooty

3/22/23 11:13am

Your kids need new friends if that's the only way they can be happy.

TailgateU

3/22/23 4:01pm

I wouldn’t even sweat it. You’re family has done more luxury vacations than most

BringYourUltimate

I have 5 kids and a sole income for our family. We don't go anywhere ever but

Amen.. his kids will be less titled and more functional in the adult world

Your asking a group of people who likely didn't get a spring break in college...

Powerbait DPM

True, we actually had to go to class and study to earn a degree.
