YANBU, tell her she is welcome to arrange visits for when DH is here.

Couldn’t you see a bit more of her but not so much it gets in the way of you enjoying the rest of your time off?

Well it’s neither reasonable nor unreasonable.

I see my PIL around 2/3 times a week and have since DH and I got together.

But we like each other, socialise together and love one another.

If they were different people I’d hate that.

In your situation with my MIL I’d welcome her happily. From 6 months she took my oldest for a day a week.

She has a wonderful relationship with both of my boys because of the closeness in the early days.

Suggest she babysit so you can get an evening out with hubby.
Suggest she can take baby out so you can get some jobs done or get a haircut or similar.
Say no.
