Not arranging MIL visits

My partner leaves his mum waiting for weeks until he replies to her WhatsApp messages. We're in a group chat the three of us, and I feel so guilty when she asks whether she can see us and he doesn't reply, but I also don't think it's my job to organise visits for his family. Is it okay that I have ordinary chit chat on the group chat and share updates on my kid but pass the buck when it comes to organising visits? I'm thinking about leaving the group chat and asking MIL to contact me if she wants to talk to me or see updates on my child and stop including me in the when shall we meet up chats because it makes me feel awful seeing my partner ignore her.

tell his mother that he’s a stoner, hence the poor message interaction

Yes, I shared with her that he uses cannabis last time I saw her (around Easter). She and I both think this contributes to his not communicating with her.
