- Just as you’re about to head out, your little one will mysteriously develop a cough, cold, or perhaps a minor injury.
- They’ll inevitably need a bathroom break three seconds after taking off, despite just having used the restroom before boarding.
- The overpriced six-dollar macaroni and cheese that they devour at home? Suddenly, it’s no longer appealing when served at a fancy restaurant.
- At least one essential item will be forgotten—whether it’s diapers, your phone charger, toothpaste that isn’t SpongeBob-themed, or that irreplaceable stuffed animal.
- Capturing a cheerful photo of your kids in those cute outfits you meticulously packed? Impossible.
- They’ll wake up at the crack of dawn, ready for fun, while at home they’re perfectly content to sleep until 7 AM.
- After an hour of packing everything for your beach day, your child will announce they’re bored and wish to leave just twenty minutes into it.

- Any souvenirs you manage to buy will either break or disappear before you’re back home.
