These relatives have to spend time planning an out of town trip.....have their car serviced and gased up, have someone to look after their pets in their absence, and yet they fail to give me the courtesy of a phone call to let me know when they will be traveling thru to visit other relatives just beyond my area. My mom recently passed away and I inherited her properity; these relatives never let her know when to expect them, they just showed up. It always annoyed her. Now, I live on her properity and the out of town relatives want to visit unannounced, as they did with my Mom. The last time they showed up unexpectedly, I wasn't able to go to the door. Now, I feel as tho I behaved badly, even tho my health is poor, plus I'm not as good a housekeeper as my Mom was. They only visit for about 20 minutes. How would you handle this problem if it were you?
