'My mother-in-law turns up unannounced in the mornings - she won't even text first'

Having family and friends pop by unannounced can be a lovely surprise, but first thing on a weekday morning perhaps isn't the most ideal time for an impromptu visit.

One introverted woman doesn't know what to do about her mother-in-law repeatedly dropping by without warning, just before her other half heads off to work.

Explaining her predicament on Mumsnet, the self-described "private person" claims that her mother-in-law has a tendency to head over to their house at around 8.15 am, just 15 minutes before her husband starts work.
