[quote=Anonymous]Your MIL really should have spoken up beforehand.  This is incredibly rude of her.

I don't understand why people are taking issue with OP.  OP wanted a holiday and came up with a plan, if it didn't suit the MIL she could have just said no or said she could only do it for 6 days, not wait until 3 days before you leave to bring up this drama.

Honestly I would tell her it will cost you a ton of money to cancel and that you will go and as soon as it becomes overwhelming for her to call you and you will return the next day.  Or if she needs a break do you have family or a friend that could take them for 1-2 nights short notice during the 12 days.  The friend could take them for 1 night, MIL gets a break and then does the other 6 days.  Worst case, you have to return early.

As soon as she sees she only has to handle 2-3 hours a day she may just relax.

Perhaps you were anxious about all the planning and that rubbed off on her.  Get really calm, really calm and ask her what part will be hard for her and then try to calm her down.  After this I would not trust her again when it comes to anything planned.
