[quote=Anonymous]They are breaking so many rules on these vacations that I think they must be breaking a bunch of rules back home too. If it's this bad all year round, have you thought about rematch? I would if I were in your shoes.

But, if you're really happy with the family for other reasons, I echo the recommendation to at least talk to your LCC. From what you describe, here's the starter list of what I think your HF is doing wrong: 
-Joining them on vacation should be voluntary. They should offer and if it's not appealing to you, you should be free to decline without it counting against your vacation time. 
-When you join them on vacation, if you are working during the trip, you need to be provided your own room, not share with the kids. (If you voluntarily tag along and will not be working, then it's okay to have you share a room with the kids.)
-When you are "off duty" you need to be fully off, as in you should be free to go do as you please - go for a walk, retreat to your room, play on your phone, call your mom, go see a movie, etc. It should not be "oh, you're off but I'll just be in the kitchen making dinner, could you make sure the kids don't destroy the living room" - that is not off duty and your HF should know that.
