And yeah, you dismiss their desires, they're gonna find someone that goes along with it, then boom, she's banging Jody or Tyrone.
It would be for the best then unless she is completely down with fulfilling every desire of her partner. If Jody or Tyrone is a simping cuck and thats what she needs she and I are both better off 'cause I ain't about that....its a partnership, not an employee/employer relationship.

Ho Lee shite.
12 hrs driving once a month?
You are way ahead of the game on this. F going twice, you are 100% right.

No, I don't think you're wrong, but, like others have basically said, is this the hill to die on? I'd do it, but then I'd lay out your case about needing down time and having the time to get things done. Trying to do you weekly job and get all your house stuff done between traveling weekends is no fun. Unless she wants to mow the lawn.

Sometimes it's 5 weeks but just depends.
Easter was the last trip down.

IF the in laws are expecting or guilting your wife into the visits, that's a huge problem.
IF your wife can't cut the cord, that is another issue but manageable.
Do they visit you?

6 hours each way is a long ways for a weekend trip.

From what I can tell, it's more her than them.
They seem to understand, they come here once or twice a year but usually we're the ones traveling.
They would never come twice in three weeks just to visit.

I agree that if she feels she has no choice but to go or face the wrath of her parents then that is a huge issue. OP never mentioned that so I assume thats not the case. It honestly sounds like he has a decent relationship with her family.

I don't think his wife wanting to be a part of her family on her own is an issue.
In the grand scheme of things, these trips don't sound like they are gonna lead to a divorce. The whole decision is do you want to deal with an unhappy wife for a bit or not? If this fight is worth it to you, then don't go and deal with whatever consequences she throws at you. Maybe it is worth it because you don't want to set the precedent that she can plan a trip any time and expect you to go.
But any idea that she's gonna happily accept you not going is bonkers.

Wife (no pics) is usually fairly reasonable but has been aggravated with me lately.
Her cousin (no pics) had a graduation party this past weekend about 3.5 hours away but we were planning to go to the in law's house this coming weekend for Mother's Day, roughly 6 hours away.
I told her I will do either but not doing both, she has a car, money, and a friend (no pics) who can go but she got aggravated simply because I wouldn't go.
She ended up going to the graduation but somehow a Memorial Day trip to the in law's house got added. 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.
Now she's aggravated again.
I'm not doing both trips either way but AITAH?
I will gladly fill your spot if you don't want to go. Try to treat your wife the same way you did the first 6 months of dating her.

Yeah, we're basically there Saturday and for church then lunch Sunday.

Hope you have leave to take a day after each trip for a pseudo weekend that way you won't be completely screwed. You can also leverage leave for family vacation i.e. you need rest and if you can't rest (those trips) then you won't have enough days for a full vacation.
