Is my MIL too needy of my husband

AIBU to think my MIL is too needy of my husband, based on the following:

  • She wants to see him every weekend
  • Even if she is meeting him, she still calls him every weekend for a chat
  • She calls regardless of whether we are on holiday or not
  • She wants him to go on holiday with her for a week every year; and it takes 8 hrs to drive each way
  • She refuses to change the holiday destination even after my husband and I had a baby and we said we couldn't go
  • She then chased him regularly to see if he was going (and leaving me home alone with the baby)

I'm following this as my mil is similar although we don't go on holiday together.
They speak every day on the phone.
He has to ring her when home from work to let her know he is home safely (he is 50)
Same when we go on holiday, first thing he does is ring to say we are there safely.
He sees her at least once a week.
I think it's very odd.

I do this with my elderly mother. Is it different for women?
