Have you dealt with this communication style?

Your husband sucks. The whole MIL/BIL/NYE party is a red herring. That is not the WHOLE OTHER STORY. That is the ONLY story.

Your Husband needs to be a MAN and call his mother on a regular basis. He needs to step up and explain vacation plans to his family.

How do you deal with this... YOU TELL YOUR H TO MAN UP.

Also, ignore all the snide remarks from MIL, if you are confident that you are good, caring and supportive children (and children in law) these comments would not bother you.

Telling anyone to "man up" is silly. Just tell him you won't enable his lack of communication with his family anymore. Just stop responding to communication that isn't directed at you. They're his family. They know he doesn't respond to emails. If they desperately need info, they'll call you.

Signed, someone whose husband also doesn't respond to emails but who sure as hell isn't going to take on the job of "little wife" who keeps up all communication/plans with two families so he can laze along

Take a hint. They don't want to talk to you. Stop being your husband's unwanted lackey.

Sounds like you are communicating for your husband. Stop and just let him deal with her. Obviously there is a reason he is avoiding her. You're enabling him to be able to avoid her.
