Asking Eric: Friends insist on inviting themselves over for pool parties
Dear Eric: I own a nice home with a pool. I have friends that often call me to ask me if I want to go lay out in the backyard or sometimes, they'll just call and ask if they can come over to use the pool.

Even though I know I don't need to feel obligated, and they don't expect anything, I'm really getting increasingly uncomfortable with people inviting themselves over to my home.
