I am not afraid to say, "That is a private family matter."
But I also don't make unexpected house calls and it is pretty much known that I do not appreciate them either. I also do not share every thing about my family while I preach. Nor do I use them as "examples" in a "look at my kids" kind of way.

I pastor country people and they like to drop by for coffee, we live nest door to the church right now. We are trying to find property though. I want them to feel welcome anytime.
I drop by their house anytime I want to and they enjoy the visits.
