But it's still not clear how much planning there was, how much pressure there was, what the situation was, whose idea it was, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc

I... guess? I mean... sure? We could look on the fact that the movie didn't go into exhaustive detail about the whole decision making process and say there's room for interpretation. It's not deliberately ambiguous, though - those scenes are quite rightly left out, because they'd be boring. But it seems kind of nuts to look at that lack of exhaustive detail and be all, "Ooh, obviously Claire's evil sister hatched a malicious plot to beat Claire over the head about her childlessness by dumping her own kids on this career woman who can run a multi million dollar theme park with cloned dinosaurs and a crazy science lab, but who is somehow helpless to resist getting tricked into babysitting!"

listen, i don't know

I think there are a lot of ways of interpreting the information presented to us - the visit is planned in some way, Claire is obviously unhappy about it on some level and it interferes with her work, her sister wants her to Learn A Lesson about having kids. Sometimes people can have pressure put on them by their family in ways that they wouldn't be vulnerable in their professional lives. People who are seeing that in the movie are hardly making it up, anymore than you are.

I'm not saying she's ~evil~. I'm saying that she, based on the scenes, seems like a person used to getting her way. A character flaw! Surprise! Mom characters aren't exempt from them!

It's nice to know you've never been in a position where you know something is going to happen against your wishes whether you like it or not. Like, your sister who always gets her way wanting to go to X place for dinner when you can hardly eat anything on the menu. But she wants it, and all protests fall on deaf ears. And it stays like this, no matter how accomplished you get!

Sister wanted this, so it's going to happen--even if it means Sister's going to just drop the kids off on Claire when the time comes, and then she'll get in trouble if anything bad happens. So you just go along with it and plan around it (the everything she did to fast track them through the park and having someone else babysit them). Like, this isn't CRAAAAAYZAAAAAAY just because you can't see how someone who ~has such a hard job can't be tricked into babysitting~.
