DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are celebrating our second anniversary. For the most part, we’re very happy. He’s the best friend I’ve ever had. The problem is his family. They’re wonderful people who have welcomed me with open arms. But they are also extremely clingy and lack common boundaries. 

We recently moved to a larger home that’s closer to them but farther from my family. Now that we live closer, they constantly pop in unannounced for visits at inconvenient times, such as while I’m getting dinner plated up. His mother has been told numerous times that we are private people and don’t like a lot of company, but she still keeps doing the same thing. She’s also trying to throw parties at our house and talking about putting in a pool, even though we have told her no repeatedly. 

And, Abby
