NTA. I wouldnโ€™t do any of this let alone with a small child. Itโ€™s too much to ask and itโ€™s just begging for tantrums because heโ€™s hungry or overtired or overstimulated or bored. Or difficulties involving vomiting or nappy changes.

The adults can also get tired and stressed, maybe get into fights.

Itโ€™s ultimately between you guys but I looked at that itinerary and it all looks like way too much.

Iโ€™m extremely antisocial and introverted irl so would probably refuse and if need be I would fake illness

its more a money thing for me. I spending all this money to go spend christmas with them and they decide "actually, we might not even do christmas here" is a but sucky.

Maybe tell them itโ€™s too expensive to do it then.

Hopefully Mrs B agrees somewhat that 1k plus flights plus misc is too much.
