Vacation drama

I need advice so the past two years I’ve went on vacation with my parents and they are the type of parents that I’m their kid. They basically pay for everything outside of my shopping the attractions they pay for everything. My ex baby daddy‘s stepmom and dad want to go on vacation this year I did not hear about dates or pricing nothing until April. It is made and I still have not got prices for anything and the kids start school the 14th and they’re open house is two days before that I didn’t know if that before, but I said that I don’t know if we’re gonna make it because of open house. Turns out we can’t make it the issue is I get back from my parent vacation a week before their vacation to Florida the Airbnb they’re looking at for me and my two kids is gonna be $400 a person so before I even get to Florida I’m spending over $1000 for an Airbnb. Mind you I am a stay at home, mom they have two incomes and all their kids grown. And my kids are at the age right now that they can only go two days and then they want their mom. So either go on this trip and basically spend my whole saving. Or I tell them no and I’m the bad guy keeping the grandkids away from them. Mind you they don’t ask for the kids at all for weekends or a day nothing I offered the kids to them so they can see them because we lived 45 minutes. I need advice. What should I do in this situation? Because their son is not a part of the Kids’s life. So whatever I do either they’re not gonna be happy and I’m a bad guy or they get what they want and I put my family in a very tight financial situation to please them
