An education for dads
easyJet Holidays has announced the launch of what it calls “the world’s first in-hotel Dad’s Club” in the holiday hotspot of Costa del Sol in Spain. To quote:
Opening on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th August at Hotel World Polynesia, Costa del Sol, the unique club provide some cringe-free respite for teens, as well as a safe space for gaffe-prone dads to connect with their kind without being judged. Any Dads staying at the resort can enjoy complimentary dad dancing lessons, frisbee and air guitar tuition as well as a joke workshop, what’s not to love?
The idea was triggered by the findings of a study of 1,000 British teenagers. 54 percent of them said that their dads embarrassed them on holidays with cringeworthy choices that included wearing socks with sandals, wearing age-inappropriate clothes, telling bad jokes, attempting TikTok memes/dances, and trying to join in with teen slang and getting it wrong.
