The answer

You are advised to try to reach an understanding with your wife and counsel her to be patient and enduring, even by compensating her with gifts. However, if she insists on refusing and the presence of the parents causes her harm, then she is not obligated to accept it. In such a case, a special place can be provided for their residence. If this is not possible, then apologize to them while being keen on honoring them dutifully.
