Sit down for a talk: Sit down with her for a talk, without your son. Talk about your concerns, using "I" statements. "I feel.. when... happens". Set clear boundaries in a calm way. "I need... ". If your MIL is allowing behavior that is not acceptable, you can say "In our family, hitting is not allowed. The rule is that Bobby goes in time out for 2 minutes if he is hitting. I need that to be consistent at your house".
