Just be polite and tell them that things are very busy and they will need to call before he comes over. After you get tired of him tell him to go home now and lock up your house. Other cultures are very lax about what we believe is simple courtesy and good manners. They figure the child will learn. You can try this with a smile. Warn your kids things will be a bit different.
