An 18-year-old boy is being shamed by his father for wanting to flaunt his beanbags on a Caribbean family vacation.
On the cruise, the young man tried to wear a cheeky bathing suit, shocking his dad who demanded he buy something less “sheer when wet.”
But when the son returned from his brief shopping trip, his father was left scratching his head.

Desperate for advice, a father shared his story on the ‘Am I the A**hole’ subreddit, detailing an unfortunate situation with his 18-year-old son Jax on a Caribbean cruise.
The young man joined his mother and his father on the weeklong vacation, celebrating the end of his school year.
“Jax is a great kid he seems to have a confidence issue. As in TOO MUCH confidence.” Writes the father of his daring son, who he describes as an “exhibitionist.” “I’ve never seen anything like it, He’s the most self-assured guy in the world. It’s not unfounded, he’s great looking and athletic and definitely a ‘Mr. Personality’ type, but still a bit goes a long way.”
Next, the dad explains that Jax is incredibly charming and that when he challenges authority, he usually wins. “But in this case, not so,” adds the original poster (OP).
Ship sails, suit fails
After the family settled into their room, Jax prepared for his first time at the pool, believing he was dressing to impress his audience of young women.
His dad, however, was not impressed.
“Let’s just say his swimsuit was NOT appropriate. At all. Definitely a ‘flaunt it’ type of suit.
I told him to put on something else. He had nothing. The kid had packed nothing but those for a weeklong cruise. What was he thinking?”
Jax was wearing a Speedo-style bathing suit made by AussieBum. To be clear, the brand boasts these “daring” swim briefs have an “enhancing pouch” along with “maximum sheerness when wet.” In addition, the suit “maximizes detail,” especially when wearing the lighter colors that “are more sheer.”
The OP writes, “If they had been black I might have let it slide, but not with the baby blue. They are literally marketed as ‘hey look at my big d***.’ Even more so, they went well beyond that, there was zero mystery as to what’s what in them, detail-wise.”
Played the ‘dad card’
Embarrassed by his son’s choice of attire, the father gently suggested he buy a more appropriate suit at one of the ship’s stores.
