Blissfully disengaged summary vacation - I hope !

I am going on our first ever vacation with the SKIDS ( no Bios here, I seriously prefer dogs, even cats of anything that ends with " ids " . ) I used to take fabulous dive vacations in exotic locations. Adult only. No screaming spawn, no snotty noses, no shitty underwear. Oh well. I guess the SKIDS are punishment for my lavish, Selfish ( as BM aka the toxic dwarf calls it ) lifestyle.

I agreed to go along on vacation only if SKIDS bother me as little as possible. They are SS 10 and SD 7, SS10 is a pretty nice kid, we get on ok, SD 7 is the toxic dwarf mini me, I simply want as little to do with this spawn as possible.

Booked 5 nights at Club Med, complete with kids club, cost a fortune but made DH pay for most of it ( there is 3 of THEM, and one of ME only , so I will pay for 1/4th ) and I was PROMISED, that I will see SKIDS only at breakfast, and at dinner at night , otherwise they will be going to the kids club where other people get PAID ( who would possibly do this for free? ) to entertain SKIDS all day with s(kids) activities. Even in the evening one can apparently rent a babysitter. They have a separate room with bunk beds down the hallway, hopefully it includes a key so I can lock them in ( just kidding btw, maybe not )

If SKIDS bother me so much that I do not enjoy this hard earned vacation, I told DH he will pay my share and I will not contribute AT ALL.
Any other tips for " family " vacations where (s)KIDS can be occupied to the point that I barely have to see them?

Other than to ruin the life of your DH and his children why exactly did you join this family? If you are so overbearing with your DH and the kids while at Club Med home must be run like a POW camp.
