Most rational people would say no. But IHO, which probably should matter more, yes you are. The amount of BS you should tolerate directly correlates to how hot she is and how many BJs you get in return for said BS.

i have 3 brother. all 13 or younger and all boys.
i dont mind road trips with them. I have good kids and yea it can be stressful but nothing better in the world than spending time with the wife and kids.

Bang your mother in law on the mothers day weekend trip. That should get you out of having to go on the Memorial Day trip

yall sound low energy. should prolly get your testosterone checked.
I've been known to skip out on an in-law event to do projects around the house... I don't have a bad relationship with them but it is a bit draining to be in someone elses house for a whole day or weekend and further, driving to get there. It's about having a mental recharge before another work... as a family man you won't always get that, but it's pretty reasonable to not want the same group of people to suck up multiple weekends in a row

and why would you not want to spend the weekend with your wife and kids? Who cares about the driving, you get to spend it with them, should be enjoyable.
No kids.
It is enjoyable somewhat but I don't want to spend 2 of 3 weekends traveling 12 hours round trip and at her parents the entire weekend.
We usually go for a weekend every 5 weeks or so and I feel like that's reasonable.

How long you been married and are you the bread winner?
3 years and yes.
I like my in laws, just don't want to go their house twice that quick.
I told her I don't see them visiting us 2 of 3 weekends, and that if her brother's wife was trying this, they'd all tell him to stand up to her.
But when I do it, I'm the bad guy

She's aggravated because you flatly said 'I'm not doing this' instead of having a rational adult discussion and trying to find a compromise.

What kind of compromise is possible?
She wants to go both weekends and I don't, I said I'd go whichever she preferred but not both. I also said I don't care if she goes but I don't want to do both.
I feel like that's fairly reasonable.

Does that work?
Posted on 5/8/24 at 1:21 pm to SidewalkTiger
No. I tell my husband all the time that I’m not making that 6-8 hour drive home more than once a year. I’ll fly back one additional time.

Your life must be quite easy if this is an issue

It is, in general.

My wife wouldn't even think to ask me to do such a thing, and I wouldn't think of asking her to do that, either. Sometimes adults also need to set hard arse limits and make things crystal clear for their spouses as well. This is one of those times.

I told her again that I'd do either but that I'm not taking a 6 hour trip for a whole weekend, twice in three weeks.
sounds like you aren't cut out for travel ball.

You're the one who doesn't want to go, it's up to you to get creative. If there's something you've been wanting to do or buy that she doesn't care for, you have your leverage.

She wants to go both weekends and I don't
People do stuff every day that they don't want to do. It's part of life. In this case be happy it's a grad party and not a weekend at an arts and crafts festival in Des Moines, Iowa.
