NTA for wanting to do your own thing on family vacation

“NTA. And at this point, I would personally be saying ‘Okay, you guys have collectively made it very clear that I’m not wanted as adult company but only as free childcare. I think we would all be better taking a break from that dynamic in the interests of preserving family feeling, and so I will not come on this year’s vacation at all. I wish you guys all the best, but I will be vacationing alone somewhere else this year.’
Also? Tell your parents that you can’t keep the peace when someone else is responsible for breaking it – your sister’s determined steamrollering of your time and goodwill is not something that you can just lie down and take forever. She is a parent and it’s her job to care for her own children. Even on vacation. If someone does her the favour of helping out, then she owes them gratitude for the gift, not taking their help for granted and assuming she can force them to sacrifice their entire vacation time. No-one owes her that sacrifice. And no, she doesn’t get to palm the kids off on other people overnight, either.”
