Dont want my daughter to think I dislike her

My first post on here but I have been reading for a while.

I have 2 daughters, one is 26 and the other is 13. My 26 year old has two children of her own and they live at the other side of the city. She no longer has a car so it's two bus rides for her and my grandkids to come and see me.
They came today and my 13 year old has a habit of screaming and shouting loudly, sometimes she just does it to make me jump, other times she just does it to be a wind up merchant. I hate it, I get headache easily and I'm very intolerant of stupid noises at the best of times. Anyway, when she does it my grandkids do it too.

So today, she screamed, then the grandkids started screaming and I couldn't handle the noise and shouted at them all to shut up. My eldest daughter was encouraging them laughing like mad. When all 3 of them were screaming, I put my head in my hands as my mind was spinning and I shouted at them to stop again and then my eldest daughter started doing it too. So 4 of them screaming like mad. I went into the kitchen in the end and my daughter and grandkids left soon afterwards. I'm hoping they don't think I don't want them to come but surely I should be able to expect more or the elder ones? especially my eldest daughter? or was I out of order and should I apologise?

I don't think you're out of order. No offence but your eldest daughter sounds very immature.After you asked them to stop she should have told her children to behave, not join in!

They were well out of order. Do they get some kind of kick out of winding you up? They all need to gorw up and show you the respect you deserve.

I would have gone f'kin nuts in your position

Don't think you are being unreasonable and hopefully you have told them you expect an apology.

What were they hoping to achieve from this? Ridiculous behaviour and completely out of order. As said, they should be showing respect.

Its your house, you have the right to set the rules, and no screaming is certainly a rule in my house.
