Freedom in my house

My two Gds, 4 and 18 months pop in about twice weekly, when I know they are coming I pop a couple of ornaments out of reach, other Gran needs 2 hours notice so that she can cover her furniture with dust sheets and her laminated flooring with cardboard just in case.
Frankly I find this odd and DD says she finds it insulting.
She does not live in a posh house, just ordinary like us.
During the very hot weather recently we often had the little one running around with no clothes or nappy, if there were a little tinkle to me it would not be the end of the world.
Am I being unreasonable to think that this behaviour is odd?

I think it is very sad rather than odd. I can't understand anyone putting their belongings before family.
