Dear Abby: My mother-in-law seems to get her jollies from constantly dropping by, unannounced

No matter how many times they tell her to call FIRST, she won't comply

DEAR ABBY: How do I get my mother-in-law to stop dropping by without calling first? My husband and I have been married for 26 years. Both of us have asked her nicely over the years to PLEASE call to make sure it’s a good time, rather than just drop by unannounced. She, however, blatantly ignores our wishes and continues to do it. Even when she discovers it’s a bad time, she blankly looks at us and has this “drop everything, I’m here” attitude as she comes strolling in.

We have told her she always drops by at the WORST time. What I don’t understand is why she gets her jollies doing it. It could be a nicer situation if we had an agreed-upon time, and we could all have a nice visit. I don’t think she respects me at all. My husband sent her a firm email telling her not to do this again. How do we get through to her? -- MAD IN MISSOURI
