Back to school ads

          It seems back in the old days, like the 1950's to 1970's, they would show old magazine and Television ads depicting children in school uniforms, smiling and parents waving their kids goodbye as they walk off to school.

   It IS NOT LIKE THAT ANYMORE!

After the forth of July is over: it seems back to school ads are EVERYWHERE!
   Newspapers, magazine ads TV... just anywhere. And that's in July.


I've seen mothers go BS crazy on the day of the first day of school. Pushing their kids on the bus with smiles on their faces, jumping for joy, cocktail in one hand.

  But with my family, it was so different. My dad worked and my mom was a teacher so she was the polar opposite of all the parents that were happy their kids were going to school on the first day.

Some ads in the 90s were funny, showing parents being excited as they got their kids staplers, notepads, backpacks, and eventually forgetting it all as they left it on the roof of the car. Another being a dad at Staples having the song be "the most wonderful time of the year" as his kids stare blankly at him.



Now I feel they focus more on the kids, as they just dance, showing off clothes that look horrible. And they have kids singing horribly to really good eighties songs.

And also the memes of parents being excited of kids going back to school are at no end.

We can't change the future. But we know the past was better, well to me it was.

Till then, enjoy the entertainment we get, and know that when we have kids, we too will feel the pressure of wanting to kick them out of the house, and yet smile as they walk off into the sunrise and on the bus on their first day of school.
