my mother in law cant help but interfere. my children are very well behaved and are very respectful and so are my nephews, but when out on a family outing the other day, my ds told me that grandma has threatened to 'bang their heads together' and had actually grabbed the back of their heads as if to do so! ( my ds had been arguing with his cousin) this is NOT how i deal with my childrens behaviour, and neither does my husband but he will not stand up to his mother and tell her that she needs to stop interfering as this is not the first time she has done something like this, it has happened many of times in the past. My sister in law is also sick of our husbands not standing up to their mother!
aibu by getting mad at my husband?

Don't let her spend time alone with them then! I bet the kids won't misbehave like that again though.

It isn't misbehaving to be arguing with a cousin. FFS when will kids learn to reason with each other if simply having an argument is deemed misbehaving. It's a life skill, to be able to argue well.

she had snatched the fruit off him then smacked him on the bottom
Did you challenge her about this and ask her what she had done and why?

Sounds awful - you and SIL need to speak to your husbands together for support outlining all the incidents -

Tell them they need to stand up to her!
