My wife F29 wants to travel without my consent M32

My wife, my mother and sister got into a horrible argument when she was about three weeks postpartum. My wife didn’t want visitors and my family showed up It has now been six months since my wife went no-contact with my family. The original argument was initiated by my mother, she humiliated and disrespected my wife and my mother has still never apologized to my wife. This is breaking my marriage and I don’t know how to move forward..

Since then, my wife and I have continued to have ongoing arguments about my mother and my family. My wife takes our baby everywhere she goes, so if she visits her mom, the baby goes with her. However, because of everything that happened, the baby has not been around my side of the family.
I’m starting to feel resentful and bitter because my wife continues to have the baby around her mom while my family doesn’t have the same access. My wife does include me and has never intentionally excluded me from going with her, but I have chosen to stay behind because I feel like my family isn’t being treated equally I shouldn’t spend time with her side. I feel like my wife should understand how difficult that is for me, while at the same time, she is continuing to live her life and spend time with the baby while I stay home.

Most of my wife’s extended family lives in Texas, and her dad outside of the country. She has not seen her dad because I have not signed the document needed for baby to travel. I refuse to do so until my mom sees my child .. to add on Her family in Texas recently invited both of us to a birthday celebration. My wife was really excited about going and wants to take the baby. But honestly, deep down, I don’t want her to go and I told her I had to work that week. It’s hard for me to imagine my child interacting with her family when my own family has been restricted from seeing her. It’s unfair that she gets to enjoy while I stay behind.

I told my wife that I don’t want her to take the baby, but she told me she is not going without her. Is it understandable that I feel this way given everything that has happened?
