Honestly, for me, the drive just adds insult to injury. Expecting grown adults, especially without children, to sleep over at your home 10 to 12 times a year for multiple nights is pretty crazy.

I did see that OP clarified this isn’t really something her parents are demanding or expecting, but rather something his wife is stuck on.

OP, if I were you, I would sit down with her when you’re not fighting about it and just explain your mismatched expectations. Maybe you can come to a compromise. Personally, I think the frequency you’re going would be too much, but I realize everybody treats seeing family in person differently. Maybe that is your compromise.

I thought going once a month was a good compromise, I'm actually shocked how many folks are saying to just go
