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.

Okay. That was very clever. I like that one.

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.
