[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I agree with the last two posters - however, they could invite him to go somewhere else besides their house.  We have taken their son to movies, a community play, the Air and Space Museum (the one near Dulles at an off hour so that it was not too crowded).  So their son is able to go places.
They have hosted us once as a family, just to clarify.  We have hosted them a few times, as I like to do a holiday party with a few people.  However, I have no issue with the reciprocity of family hosting - I just want my son to be invited somewhere by a friend once in a while.  He basically never is.[/quote]

They probably don’t feel like they could manage your very active son on an outing. It sounds like their son is the opposite of yours so they likely lack the skills to handle your DS.

This. OP, you're used to how he behaved and have the relationship with him and the skills. They do not, so it's intimidating for them. They may be afraid if it goes badly, you won't want to have the boys be friends anymore!

Some people just aren't good at this. I'm not, so I try to be a good friend in other ways. Try to overlook their lack of confidence here, and accept the friendship that they are offering.[/quote]
