My neighbor comes over almost daily uninvited. It is usually when I just sit down to relax, and I don't always feel like visiting. No subtle hints work. No matter what I say, she just comes on in anyway. Not answering the door doesn't work either, because if she sees my car, she lets her dog come through my doggy door, on it's leash, until I come to the door, and my dog starts going nuts. If that doesn't work then she goes home and calls. When I have tried telling her I don't feel like visiting, she acts hurt. I know she is lonely, and I wouldn't mind her visiting sometime, but would prefer she call first. It also isn't a short 10 minute visit -- on weekends she sometimes stays close to an hour! I don't want to hurt her feelings. How should I handle this?
