[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  My son had 4 best friends at the beginning of the year.  One best friend (from the last few years) moved out of state this fall.  One best friend from the last few years is changing schools at the end of the school year to private school.  So then he will be left with two best friends.

Of these two, I am acquaintances with one of the moms and good friends with the other mom.  The mom I am good friends with only wants to get together as whole families, she does not invite my son over.  We have invited her son over at least 8 times this year (they just started at our school this year).  Acquaintance mom doesn't reciprocate invitations.

Besides those 4 best friends, my son has other school friends who he talks about and says he eats lunch with/plays with at recess.  We've had some of those kids over for playdates but zero reciprocation.

My son wants to do online video games with his friends from school too often, and he would spend 3-4 hours per night on video games if we let him, but we limit it to two hours per day, because that is the only after-school socializing he has (he goes to soccer, swim class, music class, etc. after school but will not socialize with the random kids there).
