This is probably blatantly obvious by now

But little shit irritates the hell out of me. My fucking cousin is so dense. She KNOWS Friday is the day me and my mother go get our groceries for the week. and yet she still calls to say shes coming over... It's not like we see them once a year or every six months... she lives 30 minutes away and stops by every to every other week and she just was here with the kids on Halloween. My mother caters to fam and bitches at the same time. I guess I should be thankful my mother called me for me about it...
 
I don't see anything wrong with calling to see if someone is busy and if they want to do something, and then allowing them to suggest you coming over to their house, but to call and say, "Hey, I'm coming over to your house" is just wrong. I say it's completely acceptable to reply: I actually already have plans. I wish you'd called in advance. Call me later and we can schedule something.

Maybe she'd get the hint?

possibly... And it's like my mom and dad are almost 50.... do u think they want 3 kids going crazy areound the house all under 10? the oldest is 8. esp. when they had to work today?
 
Well, your mom has the age thing working in her favor, and even though you don't elaborate, I'm guessing it's a first cousin, so there's a generation gap working in her favor too. Besides that, it's her house, and she would NOT be breaching any sort of etiquette protocols by telling her it's inconvenient and to call later so they could actually *schedule* a get-together, and then your mom can make sure it's out of her home, which I'm assuming isn't childproof.

I think the worst part is that they invite themselves over. I hate people who do that

lol, I'm so bad for that.

I'm always inviting myself round or turning up unannounced. I don't see a problem with it myself, if they're busy they can tell me to go away. I won't take offence.
And I like when people just drop round unannounced to have a cup of tea or something.
