My MIL expects daily FaceTime calls with 8 month old?

My mil expects daily FaceTime calls with my 8 month old baby my husband is on leave so he’s been calling her all day. Every day when I’m at work I guess he calls her throughout the day.

Most days I don’t hear her calling my baby but sometimes after calling in the day time when I come home she has called to see him. On weekends when we spend time as a family she calls 4-5 times to FaceTime the baby and see what he’s doing I guess?

It bothers me so much her baby voice irks me. I hate it. Idk how to tell my husband I don’t want it to be an expectation for my son. My husband calls her mom daily it is an expectation from him. I don’t call my mom daily she doesn’t expect me too I could go a day or week without talking to her and it’s okay. I don’t want that expectation to call grandma on my son.

We went back home this weekend and she said “he has to do his daily FaceTime with me” and then would talk about how they always FaceTime.

Idk how to tell my husband bc when my baby was spending time with my mom his mom called and said she wanted to see and FaceTime the baby. She’s always complaining about fairness but this stole from my mom’s time too. My mil also doesn’t work so she has all the time to call my mom works and is involved in her church volunteers so she doesn’t have all the time of the day to call

I just don’t want her to call it annoys me I’m okay with a few times a week but I HATE THAT NOW IT IS ALSO AN EXPECTATION FOR MY SON. After I’ve been coping for so long about it being an expectation for my husband.
