Our parents promised us we would feel like fools for thinking we were smarter than them as kids. When exactly does that start?

I can tell you my sister always blamed my parents for mostly going on vacation to Poland, where they had a summer house and family (uncles, aunts, grandparents) instead - like the rich children from her class in Germany - to Spain or Italy.
Now she is asking if she could use that summer house to be able to go anywhere abroad because turns out it's quite difficult to earn a lot of money to be able to take your child on expensive vacations. And she has only one instead of three children like our parents.
While I can't tell you if she feels like you describe, but I think in this case she should :p
Spain or Italy sound like tourist traps these days, I wouldn't mind Poland.
Depends where in Italy or Spain. Italy is very nice because it's almost always sunny and the food is always good and cheap. And there are so many kilometres of coastline... you can still find what you want too: small not completely tourist overrun coastal villages. Unfortunately it's getting too warm now in summer because climate change.
