yes
if I were you the next time I was at her house just as I was getting ready to leave I would take a nice healthy dump in her toilet ( a going away present) I think she will get the message

I am sorry to hear that your mother in law doesn't flesh your toilet. That is really disgusting. This is what I would do. Go to your spouse and them talk to their mother. That would make a weird conversation, but by making the situation awkward, it would bring awareness to your in laws that they are doing a nasty disservice to all by not flushing.
Or you can stop get a sign that said "out of service" whenever you know she will be there. That way, she will have to find another toilet to use, which will not be yours so cheers.

Hmmmmmm. I wonder if she is trying to not use so much water - as in 'conservation.?"
I would watch for her to "do the deed," and go to the bathroom. Finding it not flushed, if there is no company there, I would quietly ask her outright.... "Did you mean not to flush the toilet?" If she pauses, ask her "Did the toilet flush not work? I've had trouble with the wire becoming un-hooked."
If still no answer, Say " (name), are you trying to converse water by not flushing the toilet?"
Hopefully, she will answer.
If there is company, you flush the toilet after her and when getting her off to yourself, " (name) Did you mean Not to flush the toilet? " other questions.....
I would do it each and every time....... follow up with "well, please flush the toilet when you are a guest in my house." and "Thank you for flushing the toilet."
I hope you don't have to tell her " Why !!!! "

There was a time when we visited them in the hot summer. A drought was going on, and their city had a crackdown on wasting water.
So, we had to use the rule "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down." This was a decree from MIL.
Believe me, it mellowed real good in that 105 F summer heat. Sure smelled ripe.
Ordinarily, everyone flushed.

Try communicating. It actually works when used properly. Must approach with open mind, kind heart and appreciate what one can learn from the experience.

Yes. But I don't flush hers. (They have plumbing problems right now.)

My ex father in law had the motto "if its yellow let it mellow"
I thought he (and ultimately his stepson) was disgusting
