Psychology says people who reach their relatives' house unannounced aren't necessarily being disrespectful: What this behavior reveals?

Psychology says people who reach their relatives' house unannounced aren't always aware of personal boundaries. They may see family homes as places they can enter without asking. Their intention may be to meet someone, spend time together or seek company. However, the person receiving the visit may see the situation in another way. They may have work, rest, household duties or personal plans. An unexpected visit can interrupt those plans. Psychology looks at this behavior through ideas such as boundaries, perspective-taking, family systems, territoriality and the way people understand their homes and private spaces.
