Is it permissible for the husband to take his second wife to his family on her day, and refuse to take his first wife on her day or compensate her, and is it permissible for him to travel with her without the first wife, under the pretext of her children, even though she is capable of traveling?

A husband must be just between his wives in what is obligatory, such as lodging and maintenance. And it is recommended to be just between them in what exceeds the obligatory, to preserve affection and avoid conflict. The husband may take one of his wives to visit his family or her family, and he is not obligated to do so with the other as compensation. However, it is better for him to appease the other wife by going out with her if she desires it, to gain her affection.
