MIL rant

So I just need to get this out, because my husband refuses to let me speak to her on the subject.
When we found out we were expecting out second I told my husband that I didn't want any family flying out for a few months after the birth, we are dual-military stationed in Hawaii. Our first born was only 4m when we discovered we were expecting again so I still had an idea of how things had gone when they came after her birth, they wanted us to play host - take them to the beach, go on hikes etc. Due to this I lost one-on-one time with my daughter and wasn't able to nail down breast feeding and lost my supply by 3 months. So for obvious reasons, I made the choice to not have anyone out to visit this newborn.
My EDD was September 20th, I had a c section scheduled for the 14th and we were planning on only having my husband grandmother fly out to help with our FB since I wouldn't be able to carry her around, plus she had just lost her husband and was going through a tough time. She'd already been to the island so she doesn't want to see anything, so we made this exception to my original plan.
Well then when my water broke early, MIL messages him and asked to come for like 3 weeks, then when she leaves his grandma could come out. On top of asking this she wants us to buy her plane ticket! Who the hell has this kind of nerve?!?!
He told her no and she threw a tantrum, trying to guilt us into it by talking about how FB has only met her once and is now 13 months old.
As stated, we are both enlisted... She's not the ony family that our children haven't seen or don't get to see often. She's being completely selfish and immature about everything. She's not spoken to us since we told her no, and I just want to tell her she needs to look around and realize it's nothing against her, no one is getting quality time with our kids so she's not alone. It's our last year here, she can control herself until then.
