[quote=Anonymous]I think "grandparents' prerogative" as something given/allowed by the parents, rather than an authority taken from the parents. When we have grandparents visiting, we allow the kids to stay up later, have more sweet than usual (grandparents tend to bring a dessert with them), and get extra babying, whereas we normally expect a great deal of independence. But we do all of that because the grandparents generally respect what we're trying to accomplish and they're not out to oppose us. With what you describe, I would be much firmer and if that meant not hanging out at Grandma's, I might make that call and instead insist on hosting at our place, where we simply don't have the sweets to serve.
