I do sympathise but not sure it’s worth ruining your good relationship with her, unless you can get time for yourself more subtly or without upsetting her.

In addition to the above suggestions, for stuff like tidying your room you can just say that you have some stuff to do in your bedroom and would she mind if you two talk whilst you do that? For spending time with your husband or getting some alone time, that’s your husband’s responsibility. After dinner some days he should excuse the both of you.. whether that’s so you guys can watch tv together or so that you can get some time for yourself… he should instigate it.

Yeah, the husband can definitely pop in and say hey, mom, can I borrow my wife for a while if you guys aren’t busy. The mil won’t mind that at all if her son is the one requesting.
