Are your holidays enjoyable?

I dont know if its just me, but I absolutely hate holidays. I didnt holiday much with family & when I did they gave bad experiences. Holidaying with a baby/toddler was a nightmare in the past and shes 2.5yrs old and still is now.

I hate them to the point where I'd rather go back to work. We just drove home from a night away 1hr from home, couldnt even handle that.

My toddler never seems to settle anywhere else but home. Day trips out she kicks off or is crying in a shop, whining, wanting daddy alot and when back at the hotel or apartment etc fiddles with everthing. More whining then come night time doesnt settle.

Shw goes nursery 5 days and shes loved by the staff and kids know her name and play with her. Shes fine in our hometown. We as her parents have always nurtured her and she has her own peaceful playroom at home.

We dont have any support thought, no family members and friends arent nearby.

We just find ourselves stressed in a different location with no help, no comforts every single time.

Is this normal?

Edit: I should add if you have grandparents helping etc I would say its much easier. I however do not have this assistance.
