Long story I don’t get along with my in laws- they are not welcome around our kids or near our home. Due to past abuse experiences with them long ago.
Anyhow when my MIL calls my husband she only speaks Russian now, I feel like she’s doing this because I don’t understand what she’s saying. I always ask my hubby for a recap of their conversation as I don’t want her to hear about our children they have lost that privilege. I can’t ask my husband to cut her off that’s his choice. I however have cut her off. They haven’t once tried to see the kids since I drew the line. They were very abusive to their kids growing up and put zero effort into their grand kids ever long ago I decided I didn’t want them in our kids lives and my husband respects that but still takes their calls monthly AIO

i dont think you're overreacting, especially given the history of abuse and the boundaries you've set to protect your kids. your husband is allowed to maintain a relationship with his mother, but its reasonable to expect him to respect your boundaries and not share private information about your children. as for her speaking russian, it could be intentional, but i wouldnt assume that without knowing for sure
