My friend is moving in next door to me and she thinks she'll be over at my house or have my kids over at hers all the time. She doesn't have children of her own so she has kind of "adopted" mine. As it is, she's over almost every day for several hours at a time, I imagine once she's right next door she will be over or inviting my children over EVERY day! I just am not that socail, not to mention I have stuff to do during the day which her visits interrupt. Also, these are MY children and I don't like the idea of them going to play and get treats at her house so that mommy is just second best and the discipliner know what I mean? How do I let her know that she isn't welcome to visit all the time, and my children will be staying at my house, without ruining our friendship? She also tries to come along when we go on family outings like the zoo etc. How do I draw the line nicely? Thanks!

Explain to her over a cuppa, casually like it happens every day. say that you need to spend time with your kids and have some things to do.
i hope things with turn out OK.

Just simply tell her clearly that she may be moving in next door to you but you and your family still need you space.
