Husband keeps ignoring the boundary I clearly communicated about calls with his parents

I asked my husband to talk to his parents only one day during the weekend (either saturday or Sunday). He already talks to them on weekdays while driving to work for around 25 minutes, so it’s not like the weekend is the only time he speaks with them. I also suggested that he call them in the evening because I want my mornings (either sat or Sunday) to be productive and less stressful, as I get anxious when he talks to his parents or I have to talk to his parents. I am a private person and don’t like calling or talking to anyone in general. I am ok with him talking in evenings as we are winding down the day and there is nothing much to do.

On Saturday night, I couldn’t sleep at all because of a skin allergy. I took medication and woke up around 10 a.m. I saw the incoming call and told him not to start talking to them early in the morning, and he said, “I hear you.” He had already spoken to them on Saturday.

I went to the restroom, and when I came back downstairs, he was cooking and talking to his parents. He said he thought I would take longer in the restroom, so he started talking to them.

I blocked his parents on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp because I felt very angry and anxious. I am very annoyed because this has been going on for a year now, and we keep fighting about the same issues over and over again.

What should I do? I have already communicated clearly how I feel and even gave suggestions.
