Don't say anything about his family...you know this is a touchy subject. Why would you broach it with him knowing he is going to be upset?
If you must make a specific comment, soften the blow by saying something nice and warn him about what is being said is not meant to offend, but you just want to share your thoughts with him.

Why would you want to say anything about his parents which he obviously finds offensive? He clearly thinks highly of them which suggests he has a good relationship with them. Could this be the problem? Are you a little bit jealous of this situation? A man who loves his parents usually has a good heart. Open yours a little bit and you will be repaid a hundred-fold. Love isn't finite, there's LOADS to go around! So you don't have to "deal" with your husband. Deal with the fact that he knew them a hell of a long time before he knew you and that they played a big part in making him the man he is today. But he left them and married YOU!

It depends on how easily offended, and what you said. If it was something as harmless as, "I wish your mother didn't expect us to spend every holiday with her," then his anger is not reasonable. If you're saying genuinely nasty things, then it is.
Frankly, I wouldn't stay married to someone who was Mommy's Little Boy and wouldn't even discuss things. He's married to YOU, not his mom, and if she's got him programmed to take her side against you, your marriage doesn't stand a chance.

thoughy.... You should talk to him. Explain to him that your not saying anything harmful or mean anything bad by saying something about his parents. I'm sure you dont get offended when he talks about your parents. (If you do, then thats something you both need to work on)
But other than that,I suggest just talking to him

Anyone gets easily offended if you say something about their family that is not kind. Your role is to support him in these matters. Be empathetic. Do not judge.
He can ***** all he wants about his family but you can NEVER do it.
This is rule #38 in the spousal handbook.

boy this is easy. Do not talk about his parents. He loves them and apparently what you are saying about them is not nice.
Try saying nice things. What is the old expression if you cant say something nice then don't say anything at all.
If you feel the need to talk down then talk about your own parents.

It could be that he is overly sensitive about his parents or your presentation is all wrong in how you say things about them. You could just not talk about his parents at all and that would solve this problem.

Stop saying offensive things about his parents, possibly?

You should not be talking bad about his parents to him if he does not feel the same way...you wouldn't want anyone talking about your parent. Would you??
