You cannot convince me travelling with babies and young kids is even remotely enjoyable.

You are just parenting in a much less convenient and more expensive location. And annoying everyone around you.

I took a short trip to the east coast of Florida to check out the space center. Of course it's family-friendly and I expected a lot of kids. However, I booked an upgraded bus tour and somehow managed to be around a family with a crying and fussing baby the entire time. At one point it was shrieking over the tour guide trying to speak. I'm not sure they enjoyed any of the tour constantly trying to soothe the baby. It was all they did.

I had breakfast at the hotel and despite the many open tables, a family decided to pile around a two top table next to me. The grandparents and mother were so fed up dealing with the young kids. You could hear it in their voices and see it on their faces. Just constantly reprimanding the kids trying to get them to behave.

I don't even bother with hotel pools because they are always full of annoying kids. Fortunately the beach wasn't crowded and I could stay away from kids for the most part.

Don't even get me started on international travel or high-end vacations with babies and toddlers. What an absolute waste. I swear parents are just trying to prove technically they can, though we all know they shouldn't and they'd rather not. Has this always been a thing? Travelling around the world with babies? I grew up poor and didn't travel at all so I'm not sure if this was the norm.
