To think people should give a time instead of just popping in?

[Hopefull26]

So we've got an 8wk old baby and my family have a habit of just popping round without warning. Sometimes they text to say I'll pop in today but give no time and I'll sit in for hours waiting for them to turn up, it's not like I have places to go but I feel like I'm in limbo waiting for them to turn up. Or they just stop in as they drive past without warning. Its absolutely driving me mad and I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable to bring it up or just go with the flow? Unsure how to broach the subject. I'm currently sat still waiting for my sister who said she'd pop in today, wondering when to cook tea or give my baby a bath. I feel bad asking for a time when I probably shouldn't feel bad about it. Last time I was a little off with them for arriving un-announced as my friends were round, they didn't come round for ages I assume in protest! Am I being unreasonable or is it just rude of them??!

If they do text it's quite ok to ask 'what time?'.

I despite it when people turn up announced and saying they might stop in isn’t any better. I’d ask what time as I might not be there.

If you were bathing the baby or cooking/eating your dinner when they arrived they would realise that popping in is not good.

Perfectly normal if someone says that to say "X time will suit me, does that work for you?"
Absolutely no way would I be hanging around for anyone.

Speak up OP.
This is unnecessary stress you are putting yourself under.

OP I know exactly how you feel, my dad does this to me all the time and I’m exactly the same dont really know if I’m in the right or wrong to say something.
I’m going to say lay out some boundaries, that’s what I’m planning to do on the next uninvited visit.
