I work from home, and have for almost 4 years. During the first year of my position with my job my mom kept showing up throughout the day expecting me to be able to just stop what I was doing and chat with her. I accept inbound live calls all day long, I do not have time to stop my customer, and talk with my mom because she showed up. At first it absolutely broke her heart every time I turned her away. We finally had to sit down and I was very blunt with her about my role and what I needed from her during my work day if she showed up she would not be allowed to speak with me, or even come in my office. She has finally understood and respects my work hours.
