i think in this particular case, parents are not complaining about the son seeing his wife every weekend, they are more so concerned about his staying at in-laws for longer periods,as op mentioned that his mom and dad advised him earlier not to stay for longer at in-laws. So this means they have no problems with him seeing his wife but have problems at staying at
in-laws.
Another thing is, OP himself admitted that he feel tired with all the travelling, this perhaps is a very strong reason for his mom to feel concerned about his son’s tight schedule and lack of rest, that made her talk to her DIL about sending him back on Sunday. If you notice, she is not telling him not to go there at all, she is just telling to cut short the visit by few hours. And frankly speaking mothers and fathers do have this much right on their children even on the married children.

I also know a couple who tell their grown up child when to go to the bathroom… Yes, it’s nice to have parents who care and worry about you but the whole when he needs his sleep and how much rest he needs is too much. Let the adult make the decisions like this. And if that was the case then parents should be happy if he spends the long weekend and gets more rest.
