The house ends up a disaster and I'm constantly stepping in to stop the kids from doing things that she's just letting them do. And to top it all off, not only does she let them do whatever they want, she says "mommy said no" when I have to step in.

A few things here.  I understand that you don't like her being over all of the time, and that may be legitimate.  But I think you are operating under the assumption that she should be disciplining the kids, and that is not a role that she seems like she intends to fill, or that she is obligated to.  Yes, it would be nice if she did so since she is there all of the time, but that's not necessarily part of the grandparent role.  Take charge and don't let the kids make your house a disaster, whether or not she is there visiting.    [/quote]

OP here. You are exactly right. This pretty much sums up the situation. It is what it is. It would be nice if she had more control with the kids and could do a minimum amount of disciplining them since she is here so frequently. But, she doesn't. So, I get a little annoyed when I hear her say "mommy said..."[/quote]
