You need a break. Plan a holiday away with your husband. You can inform your siblings of this, and also inform them that if they aren't "able" to take full responsibility for her in your absence that you will then hire an agency to provide her assistance and to take her to whosever home is hosting the holiday. Just do it this 1 year and see how it goes.

You aren't responsible for your Mom's happiness. You don't have to care what your siblings think about you or what they say behind your back. If you don't take a break you will burn out. So, if you leave it will accomplish 2 things: you get refreshed and they get a new appreciation for what you do day in and day out.

You don't tell your Mom about your plan until the holiday is almost upon you, lest she fret or spill it to your siblings.

Enjoy your holiday!
