We have recently moved house, which meant we moved closer to one of my Aunties. My Aunty is abit 'weird', ':nutty' "loopy' and 'fruity' but not in a hippy way, more in an angry at the world kind of way. She is also estranged from my father (her brother)- the haven't spoken in many years.

Anyway, she has become a serial pest in a way and keeps "popping in"- right on the girls nap time (and DH's and I's 'quality' time). I have mentioned several times that it is nap time but despite this she keeps popping in as my house is "on the way home from the shops"

I can tolerate her and I love her- she has always been my favorite aunty, but poor DH has a real distaste for her. I am suspicious that maybe she has had words with him in the past (as she is known to do) and DH being the man he is- hasnt spoken a bad word about her to me- but I can sense that he is very uncomfortable around her.

Anyway- I am back at work full time soon and Im worried about how I am going to stop Aunty from 'popping in'. I usually have no probs in being open and honest with people, but Aunty is alittle different. I think she would be super SUPER offended if I was direct with her- so - whats a nice way to say "please don't come over". Keep in mind I have already asked her to text or call before she comes and she cant follow that instruction

Any suggestions???

TIA
