[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t read all the posts but I have wonderful in-laws that live 3 hours a way and have their own key to the house.

- we ask them when they think they will arrive or to text when they leave, mostly because we could be doing last minute prep or might want to run out for an errand.  And then assume they will be 1/2 hour earlier than that because they are normally early for everything.
- your car was in the garage so they may not have thought anyone was home.  My in-laws will ring the bell first before they use the key if they know/think we are home.  I could see them letting themselves if they were arriving a time we would be st work.
- Because of the crazy traffic in this area we know it may make sense for them to arrive at times we aren’t home.  Like they may leave at 9:30 and get here at 12:30 to avoid the rush hour that seems to be 6:30am - 9:30am and 2:00pm-6:30pm in this area.  It’s nice for them to have the flexibility to let themselves in like when they’ve come to help out when my DH is traveling and they will pick up the kids from school - they may want to get here at lunchtime, get lunch here, relax, then carpool at 3pm.[/quote]
