[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prefer to keep my grandkids overnight, without their parents. The parents are a constant interference. I'm actually as strict, if not stricter about screen time, etc. My grandkids love to come to my house. Parents push for outings. The children actually prefer not to go out. We have a zip line, a pond, tree house and many interesting toys, games and trains but mainly they seem to crave one-on-one attention from an adult who loves them absolutely. Their current favorite activity is playing store or restaurant with my hand puppets as  their customers.

That sounds nice but would you refuse to see your grandkids if it wasn't an overnight or all day visit?  That's what the OP's dealing with.  The absolute refusal to spend time with the kids for a shorter period and/or with the parents along is just plain bizarre.  I wouldn't be inclined to accommodate the all-day demands if that was the [u]only [/u]way the grandparents were willing to see my kids.  I agree with the PP that this would make me really concerned about what it is the grandparents want to do with that time.[/quote]
