Re: Can we talk about MILs?
My MIL and FIL are great, except for the fact that they think DH can do NO wrong. Also, MIL tries to tell me how my house should be decorated and what furniture I need. The last time she was here she would not shut up about me having a bistro table in my dining room. After receiving a dozen emails I had to go to FIL and tell him we did not want one and to let her know.
DH knows she is cuckoo so he has no problem standing up to her about things, but she gets really upset very quickly and will turn on the water works.
I would definitely talk to Casey though and let him know it will no longer be tolerated. All the advice that has been given so far has been great and I would follow what some of these ladies have to say.

Same. I think I hit the IL jackpot.
The only thing I can suggest is this: try to be the bigger person and pick your battles. This is YH's family, and they are probably very important to him. It's so much easier to "give" on a few things here and there than make YH's life miserable between the two of you. Your relationship with the ILs isn't going away, so you might as well try to work it out.
I do, however, think it's his job to stand up for you against her when she's in the middle of something that's inappropriate or particularly mean.
I know, easy for me to say. But MIL and I did have one kind of tense thing happen just before she came to visit last time. I didn't want it to ruin the trip, so I just emailed her and laid it all out there. I think it set the tone, you know? Good luck!
