Sometimes, and hopefully only in rare cases, children find themselves in the parental position.

A recent high school graduate is going viral for leaving his parents on a Caribbean island after they rushed to get back to the ship on time and their parents continued shopping.

In a post shared on Reddit, the teen says his parents recently treated him to a family cruise in honor of his 18th birthday and high school graduation. The teen says he knew from the start that he would be taking on a parental role and would have to manage his parents' time, warning “that if we went on a field trip, we had to follow the schedule no matter what “.

The poster then added that it was a week-long cruise and that at one point, while exploring an island stopover, “they wouldn't return to the ship when I said that it was time to leave,” the teenager wrote.

“They were busy shopping and negotiating with the locals. I finally said I was going back to the ship. My mother waved me off.

Finally, the teenager revealed that his parents had missed the start: “By a lot. Like 45 minutes. »

The teenager added that they contacted him via WhatsApp and “wanted to know why I didn't take the boat to wait for them”, to which the stunned teenager said they “wanted to scream” at their parents “that they were not there”. is going to inconvenience 3,998 people because two of them don't understand what a schedule is.

Tell them, my son.

“They ended up having to fly to the next port and it was expensive,” the teenager wrote. “They are mad at me for leaving them behind.”

Maybe they should be grateful they don't have to pay for another seat on the plane, brats.

Adding that their parents “make me unhappy because I left without them”, the teen asks the internet to confirm if they were wrong. Obviously, everyone is on the teenager's side.

As you may know, cruise ships keep a strict schedule and do not stay docked so people spend more time shopping.

remember that Norwegian Cruise which left some passengers strandedincluding a pregnant woman and an elderly man suffering from heart problems, on the island of São Tomé and Príncipe because they were late returning from a private visit?

“The docks and ship have a schedule to keep,” wrote the commenter who noted this. “They are adults and they must be responsible for coming back on time. This is something you figured out in less than six months as an adult. At least you won't have to go on vacation with them after that.

Other commenters couldn't believe the audacity of parents who expected the ship to wait for them, with one writing: “Do they think that if they arrive late at the airport, the plane will wait a few hours? This is not rocket science. It’s a mode of transport, we arrive on time.

But yes, too bad, it seems that the teenager was the adult and the parents were the children.
