Guys, I have a bit of a problem.

When we moved here, we met our next door neighbors. They are in bad financial shape, because the husband is disabled, and they have two elementary age kids.

My wife invited them over last Wed. for dinner and for the kids to help decorate our tree. They stayed that night until around 12:00am.

They showed up again on Thursday around 9:00am, and pretty much stayed the whole day, leaving sometime around 7:00 that evening.

Same story on Friday.

We were gone to see family on Sat, Sun, and Mon.

Tuesday, they come by at noon and stay until 2:00am.

Today, they came by around noon and was here when I got home at 4:00pm. They did invite us to dinner tonight, but I did not feel well, and did not go.

My wife is still being nice, and even enjoying the company, but I really feel like they've been around WAAAAY too much. They're sucking up all my vacation time!!!! I need some peace and quiet.

Am I being selfish, or are they really imposing?
