This is a very sensitive subject and is a common problem in families. In our case, I usually choose my battles with interfering parents and inlaws. When I see that what they are doing won't cause any serious effects to the kids, I just keep quiet, while keeping a watchful eye on their activities. But when I see them giving out more than the allowable number of sweets, or trying to discipline the kids in a way that is contrary to what we are teaching them, I calmly explain that the kids are not used to what they are doing, and might end up getting confused. In some cases when I can't control my emotions, I just keep the kids in our room. It can get frustrating when our parents or inlaws interfere, but they might just be trying to help out. Try to assess the situation first, and pray before you confront them. Good luck!
