You my friend are in a tough spot, one I have been in many times. Living close to my family and my in-laws creates wonderful scenarios much like this one.

When it comes to my folks I try to help them with any reasonable request. Once you have a child you will see what your folks did for you to get you where you are now so to turn your back on them is kind of foolish and well basically mean IMO, especially when helping out your mom.

IF this was my wife I would say hey look my folks have done a ton for me in my life my mom needs a simple two hour ride to the airport I have to do this for her it is my duty. There are 46 hours left in the weekend they are ours do whatever you want with them. Do you really have a problem with me helping my own mom? I think it is a bit selfish the way you are acting considering what I have done with your folks.

Leave it at that and let her stew eventually she will come around especially if you have done what you say you have done with her in-laws.

When it comes to stuff like this what goes around comes around, at some point her folks will need help that will inconvenience you but still help them knowing down the road it will be your turn again.

Not to get to personal with you but if you are having fights like this now wait until you have kids!
