DEAR HARRIETTE: I love having my friend over, but every time she comes over, she overstays her welcome. She is an only child and a bit of a recluse. I think I may be her only true friend. I like her a lot, but sometimes it’s too much. One time I even went out with my other friends while she was at my house because she wouldn’t leave. I enjoy her, but I’m very busy and usually don’t have time to entertain her all day long. How can I set boundaries with her?– Go Home
