They ‘drop in’ whenever they wish.
This used to bother me but, not so much anymore.

We have 40+ (!!) cousins, on my husband’s side, who all live within a 3 mile radius of our home. We all get together for Thanksgiving, XMas & parties throughout the year.

I love my solitude- So, this gets me a bit weary.
But, I am grateful for all of them - especially the
little ones- 12 under the age of 9 right now.
