If these trips are yearly, I would just make other plans and visit with family once every three years or so. Also, I don't know how long these individual visits last. Are they long weekends or week+ endeavors? You can shorten them up by a couple of days, blaming airline ticket prices or whatnot. As for the over-scheduling, you know what you're getting into so I'd just go with the flow if these are visits with different family members or beg off if they include trips to places you've already visited, like a park/museum/restaurant.

You're still in charge of your own time, even while on vacation with family. You don't give that up, although it seems like you feel quite trapped. I'd encourage you to ditch the anger and view this whole thing as an expression of love for your spouse. It's something that you guys can joke and roll your eyes about each night in bed throughout the trip. If it's absurd, please treat it as absurd.

You may even want to watch a few comedies about ridiculous family visits ahead of the trip to put you in a better mind set. [/quote]
