My husband has wonderful parents. They have a good relationship. That being said, they suck at communication. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they have this issue but they do. It is becoming more and more apparent to me that they will never figure it out either. So I have started avoiding family occasions because whenever we go visit anyone, well mostly his relatives, he ends up making me crazy. He can't seem to figure out what is going on and then tells me one thing, tells family a different thing and then when I confront him on it he says I am the one who is nuts. I told him before when he did something similar that if he did not knock this kind of stuff off I was not going anywhere with him anymore. Anyone else have any experience with something like this? And this is NOT about them not getting along, they get along great...which confuses me more.
I am a little confused on your trying to say.
They get along great, but there is no communication between them, and your husband just makes stuff up, instead of finding out what is going on?
Is this right? If it is, easy solution. You get involved, and start asking questions, to find out just what IS going on.

No, he finds out what is going on but doesn't seem to remember it. I would have to be physic. I don't think I can resolve this for him. He needs to figure it out. He needs to admit he has a problem with this and start making an effort.
Why don't you share your email address (or preferred communication form) with his family and ask that they share dates and information with you directly because the message doesn't always make it home. Be nice about it of course, but you can lovingly tease your husband in the process.
My husband is not detail oriented, bless his heart, and his family knows him so this is no surprise. They email me the plans when we have family functions and everyone is happier. Me, because I'm a bit anal and like to plan ahead and this way I get to and my husband because he just wants to know when he needs to show up and where to go.
Oh crap, how did my girlfriend find the forum I post on?
How long have you been together?
How often do you typically go on these family outings? Is it a rarity or a once a month thing...?
Do what mjmama said, just get their e-mail and develop some dialogue.
