My husband and I recently got married, 9 months ago and now I’m pregnant. We get along really well but the major thing we now fight about is  the frequency in which we spend time at his mothers house. Let me start off by saying I like my MIL and I truly see her as a second Mom already. Now the problem is while we were dating over 4 years ago, his father died suddenly. My husband and his dad were extremely close and had a great relationship. At the time he had his own apartment but once his dad passed he moved to stay at his parents house for 3 months. He later moved back to his apartment, but as time progressed he made sure that he visits his mother every evening and eats his night food there. While we were dating I thought that was a nice gesture and did not think anything of it. Now the problem I am having is that for the past 9 months of our marriage we have been eating at this mothers house every night. We live in the same area. I love to cook and now I feel like a bad person for just wanting to come home from work and start making food every night for us. Since I'm a teacher I get home early around 4pm. So I have time to make good food for my hubby which is a passion of mine. Whenever I bring up my concerns to my husband he says I don't understand. Now all of a sudden he came up with a story that the day before his father passed away he asked him to eat with his mom every night and to generally just take care of her. Now that I am pregnant and our baby is coming soon will I now be carrying the baby to my mother-in-laws house every single night? Has anyone been in a similar situation? How can I deal with this issue.
