Boyfriend's family is starting to rub me the wrong way, help?

Ok so I'm trying SO hard not to get annoyed but I've reached my breaking point. Here's the story: I go to all my boyfriend's family's gatherings, holidays, and events to make them happy and I make SURE I'm there to the point where my own family is getting upset that I'm never around. But the tiny few times I want my boyfriend to come to MY family's holidays or events, they (his family) says he can't. Like it's starting to really upset me. They expect me to be at all theirs but he can't come to ANY of mine? I'm starting to see that this is unfair. Please help, what do I do?? :( thank you so much.

    Say that you can't go to any of his until he goes to one of your family gatherings. Family comes first, and if he says no. than say you can't go to any of his family gatherings. Say your busy, I would be really upset if he kept on doing that.

    Don't be too much avaiable because people start to stop respecting it.

    Communicate this to him in a calm, adult fashion. He may not even be aware that you are dis-satisfied.

    Give him a chance to make the right decision once presented with the issue.

    it's all starts with communication!!! you should be able to comer up with some sort of compromise?

    Next time just plan it out so that it works out for everyone?
