Stepdaughter says my yorkie puppies should be put off to side?

My stepdaughter is 29 and expects me to ignore my 2 yorkies both 9 weeks.. while her and my grandkids are over... I am so hurt. :( Do you think this is right? I appreciate all your answers... from the bottom of my heart! Thank You!!

1. No i don't your puppy's should not be ignored they need stimulation i would not allow the step daughter and grandchildren to visit if she had said that to me
2. Your stepdaughter is a guest in your home and doesn't have the right to tell you what you should and should not do. If she doesn't like your yorkies and wants you to ignore them, then she doesn't need to come over to your house. 9 week old puppies cannot be ignored. They need to be supervised at all times and crated when you are unable to watch them. Your stepdaughter need to learn a little respect!
3. You do what you feel is RIGHT for you. End of story. Doesn't matter what you do to please everyone else the only person you end up not pleasing is yourself.
4. I think you should give your husband a break and send him and his children and grand children a break and send them to a motel to stay while visiting. Tell them you love them and you want to spend time with them but if your step daughter cannot control her children to the point that they would not be a danger to the pups then they cannot be in the House at this time. The Reason ! The reason is that 10 week old yorkie pups are too young to go to be boarded . They cannot be fully vaccinated enough to fend off the diseases that kill puppies and their systems until they are 5 lbs will not support shots until they are strong enough to accept them . ! 10 weeks is just too young. Certainly the children cannot play with them and hypoglycemia is always a risk at this age, some dogs DO NOT grow out of this problem. So I would strongly suggest that they stay at a hotel even if you have to pay for it.
5. She is testing to see how much control she can have over you. She is very insecure and has low self-esteem, so is needing to be a bully. She will play that game to control you for all of your life(using the grandchildren as the pawns) if you give in to her now. My dear friend has gone through this with her D-I-L.. It's not a fun game, and leads to many broken hearts.
