For my husband and me, we decided not to have kids. So when we went travelling it was easy. We only had to find a house for our cat!
Of the travellers we met, most of them are in one of these 3 categories:
1 - the unattached ones with no family ties. Generally very young but not always
2 - Those who had kids and are travelling now that the kids are left the nest - generally they are in their late 40s, often retired early
3 - those in couple who decided to pass on having children...
For people with young children I guess they do shorter travels. However! We met lots of french and belgian families travelling with kids, sometime very young kids, in south america. They were travelling on mobile-homes. For those with kids of school age, the kids were studying at distance (easy to do in France via The CNED, contact with teachers is over the internet and mail) .
For info on studies at distance: check CNED= Centre National d'Etude a Distance - Possible up to Baccalaureat level I believe. Maybe there is something similar in the UK or some english language country?
