[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why can't you find a time that works for everyone? Maybe the kid really has plans when you ask. Would you prefer that he just say no to your son without trying for a new time? That what it sounds like you are saying.[/quote]

I'd prefer that he either wait until we invite him another time or try to invite DS to his place, if he wants to see him sooner than that.  It is annoying to me to have to pull up my work calendar to see whether I have calls scheduled (and go through my work email to see times I have offered for calls that may later be confirmed) at the alternative time this kid proposes coming to our place.

May I gently suggest you get over your annoyance and do this anyway?  I am going to assume you want your kid to have friends, and then you will want more invitations coming in as tween/teen years progress.  This is a "problem" that will grow if you things go well for your son, which I assume you want.

Also as a work matter, never leave calls you offered hanging in your email.  Put them on calendar and put tentative or hold for [name/topic] in the subject.[/quote]
