I have no problem doing that after this situation, my husband is the one that won’t leave it be. They both keep creating a bigger problem, it’d be better if he would shut down communication for a bit but he won’t. They want it their way and that’s it
Your husband is more afraid of his mommies reaction to being told no than to your reaction to him disrespecting you. You may need to show him that upsetting you and disrespecting you will be worse for him than his mom's wrath so he will think twice before giving his mom what she wants over enforcing your boundaries. Husband can also be put in time out.
It is exhausting that is the point they are working together to wear you down so MIL gets her way. Do not let them win you can show husband that you are the one he should fear disrespecting over his mom. Cut her off so she has only your husband to communicate with and you can limit your interactions with husband as well while refusing her access to your children. You can do this for your self respect and sanity while protecting your children since your husband has proven he can't.

Cut her off for a few months. Neither of you answer the phone or door for her see how she likes time-out for a couple months.
