I moved into a small duplex a few months ago, and my neighbor is friendly and helpful. They often pop over without texting first, usually in the evenings. I try to be gracious, but it throws off dinner and work calls. I've hinted that I keep a tight schedule, yet the drop-ins continue. I worry about hurting their feelings because we share a driveway and see each other daily. I just want a calm home routine. What is a kind way to set clear boundaries that actually stick? Would a door sign or a preemptive message be considered rude?
