    Do you still get to go places? I think the person in the comic used to travel a lot

      Depends how much money you got. Once they are out of the “hold then in your lap” stage and you have to start paying for their airline seats it gets really expensive.

        Not only that but trying to relax on a vacation with a small child must be miserable

        My yearly vacation spot is iceland. How the hell would that work with a child

          You don’t relax on vacation with small children. You’re always on alert, unless you got another family member or someone to look after your kids for a while.

          You go because the kids have fun and enjoy it, but they’re also small enough they might not remember it at all anyway, so it can feel like a waste in that regard.

            I guess the idea is to live precariously through your child.

            My parents took me to a lot of places as a kid to make good memories for me. It didn’t work. My whole childhood is mostly just a big blur in my memory.
