Etiquette towards unexpected visitors

[hearlady]

When I was a child, my mom wouldn't hesitate to drop in on her family members without prior waring. I never remember her being reprimanded for it. Maybe things were different in this respect in the 1950s. Nowadays you practically have to make a "play date" for your kids.

I think it is different. People just dropped in. I think that's why I'm always ready if someone was to come by but they don't and that's just fine!
