Too much sugar on the flight? This is what happens (Picture: Youtube)

Grab your passport and dust off your bikini, cause that whopping dent you made on your credit card six months ago is about to become a reality. It’s holiday time!

Now you’ve just got to get the kids through the flight, and then it’s time to relax. But of course it’s not really. Cause holidaying with kids can sometimes leave you needing a holiday. Here’s why.

1. Before you even begin, the sheer amount of crap you have to pack for your offspring is enough to cause a mental breakdown. Then you’ve got to pay the exorbitant fees for all that additional baby stuff you’ve tried to cram into your paltry allowance. You might as well bend over at the EasyJet check in.

2. How many more minutes? How long til we get there? Are we there yet? Times this by a thousand, and that’s pretty much your entire flight. You know those parents who’s kids don’t shut the hell up and scream the entire flight? That’s you.

Somebody please shut that kid up. Oh. It’s my child. (Picture: ramzihachicho)

3. Then there’s the packing. Packing for the holiday. Unpacking on arrival. Then the packing to return home. Then the washing once you get home. Then the hanging up. Then putting it all away. Is it really worth it?

And this is what awaits you as home. (Picture: Mark Bowden)

4. It’s an all-inclusive dream! As much as you can shove down your gullet of the finest buffet the Euro has to offer. However, your kid will insist on eating only beige food. Chips. Pasta. Mash potato. And ice cream. But there’s fillet beef on offer! Sacrilege!

Fill your boots, sonny

5. Argh! The time difference is messing with your baby’s mojo! She’s awake at 4am ready to go. Doesn’t she get you’re on your holidays and she’s allowed to sleep in?

Yeah, shut up and go to sleep

6. The change in minerals in the local water is guaranteed to give at least one of your family the trots.

7. Ah crap, you’ve run out of nappies. Let’s go and buy some at 5x the price from the local mini mart.

8. Here’s an idea. Why not take the inlaws with to be onsite babysitters? Because you’re husband will loathe you. You know he hates your mother.

Yeah, ok, lets try that! (Picture: YouTube)

9.  Is that a poo floating in the swimming pool? No! It can’t be. Hang on, is that another one emerging from your baby’s nappy? Oh the shame.

I’ve just crapped in the pool. You know it (Picture: MarcoGovel)

10. You’ve abused the all-inclusive free pina coladas. You’re feeling amorous. Your husband has a nice tan and you fancy seeing his white bits. Then you roll over to put the moves on him, only to remember your children are sharing your room. And possibly your bed too.

Penis Colada. Cheap joke. Sorry.  (Picture: Boarding1Now/Boarding1Now)

11. At the end of the day, isn’t it just the same shit, different place?

Might as well stay at home
