NTA. Stand your ground! Avoid the hassle of babysitting
NTA: Take a solo adventure and enjoy your own 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.”
“Tell your parents that you can’t keep the peace when someone else is responsible for breaking it”

NTA. Sister traps OP in free babysitting, entitlement is real
“NTA a million times over. If they keep giving you shit, I wouldn’t even go. If you do, stay firm when your sister inevitably tries dumping the kids on you. Or send her links to a babysitting service that’s local to where you’ll be going. Tell your parents they can use the money they were going to spend on you for a babysitter for your sister.”
Bravo! Finally, someone stands their ground against unwanted babysitting duties
NTA: Brother stands up to entitled sister and enabling parents
“NTA I’d strongly advise staying in a different hotel. What if your lovely family knocks, drops off kids, and runs, leaving you saddled with children you had no part in the making of. Keep your foot down. Don’t let them manipulate you. One can love their family, and still say no.”
