Parent jokes about son surviving first 48 hours in student halls

A parent has shared that their son has completed his first 48 hours living in university halls, joking that since he has not yet 'succumbed to or died from any Victorian disease caused by malnutrition', he must be capable of looking after himself. The remark plays on freshers-week anxieties about students fending for themselves for the first time, striking a chord with other parents going through the same seasonal milestone.
Why now: It is freshers season, when parents drop children off at university and swap anxieties and jokes about them coping alone.

- 48 hours have now passed since my son moved into halls. So far he's neither succumbed to or died from any Victorian disease caused by malnutrition so I can only assume he's able to look after himself. # parenting # university # freshers · 30yrdscreamer@mastodon.me.uk · 4
