AITH for telling my wife my parents can't stay at our house without asking me first?

My wife and I have been married for four years, and we have a spare bedroom that we normally use for guests. Last week, my wife told me that my parents were coming to town for a few days and would be staying with us. I was surprised because I hadn't heard anything about it. I asked when they were coming, and she said they had already booked their trip and she told them they could stay with us. I told her I wasn't comfortable with that because I had a really busy week coming up and was expecting to have some quiet time at home. I also felt like she should have talked to me before inviting anyone to stay for several days. She got upset and said they are my parents, not random strangers, and that I was making them feel unwelcome. She also pointed out that when her sister visited last year, I didn't complain about her staying with us. I reminded her that her sister had asked both of us first, and I had agreed. She said I was being controlling and that married couples shouldn't need permission every time family wants to visit. I told her I'm not saying my parents can never stay with us. I just think overnight guests should be a joint decision, regardless of whose family they are. She now thinks I'm putting my parents above her feelings, while I feel like she made a decision about our home without including me.

AITH for telling her my parents can't stay unless we both agree?
