I agree with this. Inviting them over after they have disregarded your wishes is just enabling them. They need to respect boundaries and you might have to be a little more forceful instead of letting the walk all over you. Taking separate cars and setting a time up front that you will need to leave should set things up for a better result. Good luck. I know it is hard to be nice but draw good boundaries but it can be done.
