Essentially, if there are no visitation orders in place, then its hard to go into court and say he doesnt excercise his visitation.

Why is it that he can drag me into court for this but

Keep documenting to show a pattern of behavior. Altho, I am having a hard time understanding exactly what status his visitation orders are at.

Once again, I get the sense that there is more to the story here. Why should he have to see her at his parents home? Im really unclear here .
Is there anything I can do?

Sorry,, we all would love to see the other parent be a better parent, be more involved, do what we want em to,, but guess what?? You dont have that control over him, nor should you have.
