Ray I was in a situation years ago when I divorced my first husband and had to move home. I was a single mom and my mother told me that if I wanted her to babysit then I had to have a schedule as soon as I got mine and that she would charge me to watch her grand kids and that was not included in what she was charging me for rent. Now some people might consider this mean. It wasn't, I was an adult who made some decisions that put me there.
I think that your daughter and son in law are taking full advantage of you.
1) They are both working and should put their stuff in storage so you can have your home back
2) Child care is something that they need to find. They cannot assume that you gave up your life to care for their child even if it is your grand child.
3) You need to set some guidelines. It is your house and they are guests.
Maybe I am sounding harsh, but I had my son home from Texas over the holidays and our kids are different after they become adults and live on their own. We love them but they are different.
