Normally in a discussion about interfering in laws somebody will say this.

Who does "own them" then if it's not the mum and dad?

Obviously I don't mean in the possession sense, but surely in the absence of a child being able to make a decision for themselves the child's direct creators have full say on what happens with their child in all aspects of its life?

I've seen so many posters saying that they hate the phrase "your baby your rules", but why should somebody other than the parents have the ability to decide how the child is reared?
