My in-laws have keys to my house. However, they often come unannounced and because we live so close to each other, they visit us everyday and whenever they feel like it. They are both retirees. How do you tell them that we need space. My husband does not speak to them. Whenever they visit, he would be in his study. I have tried dropping all kinds of subtle hints and even obvious ones but they are not taking it. I feel like changing the locks to my house. Any other suggestions?

Sounds like an episode of everybody loves Raymond! Can you get the locks changed and give them an excuse that you lost the house keys and you are scared an intruder might come by and rob the house. Then just make sure you never give them the new house keys :)
