 Please explain to him that whereas he might think it's silly, your family means a lot to you and he should take the time of day to show up for these social occasions as they only happen a few times a year unless he has a very compelling reason for not going.
Maybe if there's a lot of social occasions in your family, you and your husband can reach a compromise (for example: he will accompany you on 3 social occasions per year).
Your family is part of who you are and if it's important for you to have your husband with you when meeting the family, he should go with you.
That's what it means to be married, you stick up for each other and sometimes you even do things that you don't particularly like doing just so that your partner will be happy.
