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]

Posters on DCUM are rigid about rules and routines, even at the expense of personal relationships.  Teaching your kids to value friendships and family relationships and how to be flexible is just as important as homework. [/quote]

A lesson the grandparents apparently need to learn. They've got nothing but free time, and only themselves to manage. Weekend visits are the least they can do, if they can't be bothered to bring over a lasagna.[/quote]
