[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son and his friend just turned 13.  They are friends, but not best friends - they hang out once a month or so.  Usually, when DS invites this boy over, the boy says he can't come when invited, and tries to invite himself another day and time of his choosing.  I find this a little frustrating for several reasons.  Number one, DS does his school work in a different way than other kids due to a disability, and has several sports commitments as well.  I also WFH, and need it to be quiet during calls.  Therefore, it doesn't work that well for someone else to come over at a time of their vs our choosing.  I also know that this boy is a kid, but I find it a tad offputting to invite your self to someone else's house at a day and time that you choose vs. they choose.

Would you just suggest that DS keep declining, or say something along the lines of "I can only invite people over at times my mom clears," so that he is not coming to me with requests from this kid that won't work for us?  [/quote]

Why is your son's time more valuable than his? This is how this works, even in the adult world. [/quote]
