My stepdaughter and I get along, as long as she gets her way. She acts like this is her house and drops her kids off too much to suit me. My husband got furious with me when I told him he to to tell her he needs to see if we have any plans. I feel like an outsider. I have two grandchildren that do come to see us, but because they are involved in sports they can’t come too often. My daughter picks them up when she tells me she will.. We never know how long the kids will be here when my step daughter drops hers off. My husband doesn’t mind them dropping in so frequently but I do.  I need some advice please.

Let your husband do ALL of the babysitting for his grandkids, you do nothing.

It is pretty rude of your husband to not discuss them coming over with you.

I would make plans, alright, and leave him at home with the grandkids, or stay home but do whatever you like, as if they weren't there.

I really don't get married people who act as if they are single and can just make decisions without their partner's input.

Oh, I definitely agree with hereiam and futuro. The minute you learn the step-grandkids are on their way over, YOU walk out the door. If you don't know they're coming until they walk in, immediately grab your purse and keys and walk out. Every.Single.Time.

If you and your doofus, er, husband, have plans? YOU keep them. HE can babysit.
