Do you visit MIL with dh/dp?

Dh visits mil weekly and each time mil will ring and say 'you'll be up to visit soon?' But dh doesn't visit mine when I visit weekly and it's not expected. Nor are any of the other in laws spouses (because they are male) so aside from covid I visit once a month but I get a guilty phone call.
I went into work today and dh didn't tell mil I was at work so no doubt she will be annoyed as last week I didn't visit either. Confused I have hinted to her it's my chance to get the floors washed and few jobs done. But I really want to say dh is her son she's not my mother. I have a lot on my plate. Do you visit yours often?

Yes it is emotional labour. Plus dh sister is very snobbish and I have nothing in common with them. They have updated views. Like the eldest male is most important in the family. If a local funeral takes place mil will scold and give out that the daughter was in the hearse not the son 🙄 also she will ring stressing that dh isn't home but dh has put a stop to that.
