DH needs to man up and talk to his mom. He needs to always take your side above hers [b]when she is being unreasonable and in the wrong[/b]. And the child of the offending parent should always bring up concerns to their parent.

I agree with what you wrote for the most part - for a younger couple.  Having a MIL who has 4 other DIL's, I see both sides of it.  In a few cases, the DIL is the one who is being the jerk.  If my DH felt strongly that I was being the unreasonable one, I would not expect him to engage in conflict with his mom on my behalf.

At the same time, I have been married 20 years and I am confident enough to fight these battles myself.  OP said she is 8 years in and I think that is the gray zone.  By the time they get to double figures, I do not think that any wife should be hiding behing her DH when it comes to conflicts with MIL's. That is just my opinion. [/quote]
