Money issue should be discussed before marriage. I can't believe she would have problem with only $1000 a year when you guys make so much money. We gave more than $1000 to my mother-in-law even though my hu*****and makes less than $40,000. I don't like it either, but his mother needs help. There are two solutions: 1. Separate your bank accounts and you save some money for your parents since she can't love them as her own. 2. Show great love and patience and tolerance. A lot of communication. Try to understand why she behaves like that and hopefully change her heart. Don't scold her, but encourage her and praise her for any small kind actions she shows towards your parents.
As for your parants' visiting, maybe you can free your wife from home on a vacation or something. Then invite your parents when she is gone. I don't like my mother-in-law because she did something terrible, but I told my hu*****and that he can invite her and I will go somewhere by myself.
