Carolyn Hax: His girlfriend’s parents call five times a day, show up unannounced

Dear Carolyn: I have been dating a woman for six months. While we get along pretty well, we often argue about her parents. They call her at least five times per day. Once to wake her up, instead of an alarm, once when she’s on the way to work, once driving home, once when safely inside, and once when she is going to bed. My girlfriend, 31, believes this is normal. I could not disagree more.
