Going away with extended family

Is it ok to not go away with partner, kids, his sisters, parents and families ? I find it all a bit much . Different parenting styles, a few people doing all the cooking, organising, very noisy etc etc. We have done a couple of holidays and several wknds away in one big house with this large group and I don't enjoy it, but have done it for the sake of my husband and kids . My husband knows I hate it. How do I get out of future trips or do I just need to suck it up as I have previously. (AIBU) . If I don't go it would cause massive issues and offence with the rest of the family.

Are you sure they'll be offended? My husband's family like their en masse trips away (6 siblings) but one rarely comes - despite having good relationships - and I only pop along for one night as it's too much for me, though my husband goes for longer with/without our child. No one gets fussed about it, they're happy to live and let live! Maybe you're husband's family would actually be fine?
