Highly unusual, especially since she had not reached out to you by phone or some other means before just showing up.

I understand she may not have had your phone number, but I am not letting someone into my house whom I have had no contact with for 20 years.

I find it very difficult to find a current cell phone number for someone. They may have tried to call or text you.

Addresses are much easier to find!

Maybe they tried and really would like to be in touch again!

I have had people drop by I hadn't seen in years. We have lived here 40 yrs, so everyone knows how to find us. One was a young man I hardly recognized! After I stared he said, "it's me-----the little boy who lived across the street." Omg, last I saw him he was 7, he was in college! I was so flattered he thought to say hi. Another was a woman who had worked for me a good 25 yrs past . I adored her. She never spoke English well, and I spoke enough Spanish to get stuff across, and her daughter helped. I opened the door, and we just cried. Of course, when people drop in like that I am never made up, dressed decent, and the house isn't perfect...but I was glad she did. She died a couple years later .

I would be more concerned that my daughter. Opened the door to strangers. I do not care who they were.

@patticakes

To me, I think your daughter handled it well. She was a stranger to her and IMO it's better to be safe than sorry.

It also depends on what your relationship was when you knew her so many years ago. Did she give a reason for her visit? Who knows, maybe she wants to sell you life insurance.

She could have left her phone number or email address with your daughter for you to contact her if you are interested in reconnecting with her. It is completely your choice.

ETA:

I just re-read your post and I want to add that since you found this odd, you should trust your instincts. And if you don't feel you have a reason to have a relationship with her, I'd just forget about it. You don't owe her anything. Again: better to be safe than sorry.

@patticakes. This exact thing happened to me once. A girl I'd been friendly with in college but not close friends, show up at my door in Houston all the way from Philadelphia. I'd taken the day off to clean house as my mother was coming the next day. It had been 20 years since I'd heard from her. She had her 5 year old son with her.

I fixed some lunch and we chatted awhile. She hinted that she'd like to spend the night but I ignored her. I finally told her I had to get busy and as I walked her to her car, her bratty kid turned the hose on us full force. That was the last I ever her from her.

A few years later, another friend learned that she had died.

My rule is if you don't call and let me know your coming I won't be opening the door for you. I open the door for no one.

Yes it seems odd, and I wouldn't have liked it. In fact, now that I have security cameras that lets me know as soon as a car is in my driveway, I would have time to turn off the TV and not be home. Will be interesting to see if you receive a phone call or another visit.

@RedTop @so funny...."time to turn off thetv and not be home ". Exactly the same here 🤫
