I love my son but hate him on holiday – he moans about his sunburn and mosquito bites, I just want to chill by the pool
A WOMAN has revealed that whilst of course, she loves her son, he “hates” him on holiday.
The mother, who is known online as ‘LoubieLuxe’ revealed that when she goes abroad, she wants to relax by the pool.
However, her young son has other plans, and is constantly moaning about his sunburn and mosquito bites.
Not only this, but the blonde-haired beauty claimed that he often can’t make up his mind about what he wants to do, which she finds infuriating.
Sharing her frustration on social media, the mother, who was laying on a sun lounger in her swimwear, with a pair of black sunglasses on her face, posted a clip with the caption ‘Why are kids t***s on holiday?’
She then questioned: “Is it normal to love your kids but f*****g hate them on holiday?”
The mother added: “Honestly, he’s a f*****g nightmare – his feet hurt, he’s got mosquito bites, he’s got heat rash, he’s burnt, he’s bored, he wants more food, he wants more drinks.”
The content creator revealed that her son can never make up his mind, as she reveals some of the many comments he has said during their holiday: “‘I don’t want to go to the pool today’, ‘I want to do something different’, ‘I want to go to the pool today’, ‘I don’t want to go out’.”
Not only this, but she claimed that her child will also say: “‘Can we go out after lunch?’, ‘I don’t want to go out after lunch’, ‘Can I have an ice cream?’, ‘I don’t want an ice cream’.”
To this, the angry mother asked: “Can you just f**k off?”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @loubieluxe, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 175,000 views in just 21 hours.
Social media users were in hysterics at the clip and many parents confessed that they could relate.
One person said: “And this is why I don’t want/have kids.”
To this, the mother replied: “Don’t do it.”

Another added: “When you go on holiday with kids you always need another holiday straight after just to get over the stress.”
In response, the savvy mum confirmed: “I’m on the TUI app as we speak.”
Tips for a stress-free holiday with kids
PARENTS have been told the three ways in which they can make family holidays with kids so much easier.
Three experts have weighed in with their advice on what to do in order to make your getaways as stress-free as possible.
Family holidays are always exciting but having kids of a certain age can mean that things are more difficult than they need to be.
Thanks to Travel Weekly, here are three ways that those with young toddlers can have the best holiday possible.
Clarisse Chapolard, who is responsible for overseeing and caring for Club Med’s customers, says that booking off-peak flights ensures a quieter plane and airport – providing a more comfortable experience.
“Staff will generally be more available to help too,” she adds. “Flights can be the biggest headache with small children, so travel short-haul where possible.”
Clarisse also recommends making sure there are activities nearby to your accommodation to keep toddlers happy.
Having a child-friendly hotel can make the world of difference to your family holiday, especially when parents are looking for some time to themselves.
Founder and chief executive of Martinhal Resorts, Chitra Stern, said: “Accommodation needs to be child-friendly and safe, but also stylish and comfortable for parents.”
Finding somewhere with bed protectors, stair gates, steps in the bathrooms and furniture with round edges will prevent any unnecessary injuries or accidents.
Alan Cross, director of travel agent relationships for Jet2holidays, has recommended parents to look at package holidays for peace of mind, ease and assurance.
“Families with toddlers may appreciate dedicated facilities like kids’ clubs, children’s pools, creches, playgrounds, cots and highchairs,” he said.
Package deals can also include free child places, single-parent deals and discount codes, catering for more than a standard family of four.
A third commented: “You are so real and I’m here for it.”
Whilst someone else penned: “You just made me feel better about not being able to go abroad with my kids, thanks.”
Meanwhile, another parent claimed: “So relatable.”

The mother later wrote: “I love spending money to increase my stress levels.
“Sometimes I feel like I’m just the puppet and he’s the puppet master.
“I bought him a lilo today and we go home Saturday just in the hope it might shut him up for five minutes.
“To be honest I feel like I’m just getting karma for my behaviour as a child.”
