He left to visit/take care of his mother for 2-3 weeks. He told me the box better be there when he gets back, because "he will take care of it".
Same chorus for NINE years.

Yes, I get it that you don't want to plan your own vacation, but it's always impossible to get reservations for 12-15 at a restaurant when you decide at the last minute you want to pop-in.
Then stop inviting your parents on your vacation, and instead plan long weekends with them (that can get ruined if others tag along).
They live a 13 hour drive away, so it's not easy to do a long weekend, and instead, we usually meet in the middle. I like my extended family, but they definitely need to do their own planning.
Then tell your parents you only want to see them

I’m only 51 and agree with you. Retirement can’t come soon enough.
