Family members not obeying the parents rules for their child

Q: Is it allowed for family members to go against rules that parents have made for their kids? For example, when a child has an upset tummy, parents ask family not to give the child things to eat without asking the parents first?

A: It is not right.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
