I hope one day I can get past that and enjoy a holiday the way that you all do. You all sound like you’re having such a lovely time

Holidaying with kids isn’t something I’ve experienced but I pretty much agree with the rest of the stresses. I tend to create quite detailed itineraries though and hate being late so leave plenty of time for traveling anyway so as not to create additional stress.
The benefit of seeing new places outweighs all the other hassle for me but worth trying to embrace some of the anxieties and make them work for you if possible. Plus plenty of amazing places practically on your doorstep here so easy to remove things like flights from the equation if easier. Hope you find something that works for you mate

That was always my parents' pov. They were wizards who always did a day for us and a day for them in fairness so fair play to them. When I was struggling as a student, the only holiday I ever did during uni was to go to Iceland and have planned itineraries every day, something I'd never do now.
