This was my reaction. Unless your son has 3 hrs of homework, I don't see what the issue is. My parents come over in the afternoon all the time. I won't compare the situations because my parents usually are very helpful (bring over dinner for the kids, for example, and help with baths) but even when they're not and do things like get them hyped up on sugar cookies and disregard bedtime, I think it's worth it to facilitate the grandparent relationship. And my kids love seeing them so much.[/quote]

This exactly.  And I'd put my parents in the "think they are helpful but are actually unhelpful" category but they have a wonderful relationship with my kids and that is what matters.  This seems like not that big of a deal.  Just have the kids go about doing what they have to do and grandparents can help or not.  And give them jobs - please pick up pizza, please chop veggies, etc. They will either get the hint and help or suddenly find other things to do on weekdays ....[/quote]
