Lol. You guys and your fairy tales. His other, more close friends all couldn't come due to work and other vacations. This is basically a 3rd tier friend from high school who my son thinks is okay but also now wishes he hadn't brought since he's gotten lectured at various points for what he orders, what he won't eat , using a plate for spaghetti instead of a bowl, what towel he chose to use, wanting to go out at night, etc. [/quote]

Lady, you sound horrible. Lecturing the kid for using a plate instead of a bowl for spaghetti? Seriously?  I too had mY son invite a kid who was a nightmare to our beach house, but I tried to get him in line and then encouraged my son to invite his other friends who are great [/quote]

The obnoxious guest was the one lecturing OP’s son about using a plate for spaghetti instead of a bowl, among other things.[/quote]

NP. The passive voice phrasing and confusing pronouns have me puzzled. "... since he's gotten lectured at various points for what he orders [etc]..." I thought OP had been saying that her son was unhappy that SHE had been lecturing her son about the failings of his friend. Who has been doing the lecturing? Are all of the "he" statements referring to the son, or are some of them referring to the friend?

If the friend has been so unpleasant in his eating and has also been lecturing the son for what the friend perceives to be the son's shortcomings, then that is really beyond tolerating. But OP should not be lecturing her son for the friend's shortcomings at this point, because what is the son supposed to do about it? It's very awkward all around.

This guest is so unpleasant that honestly, I would be tempted to just call it off and tell the friend, "Sorry, this is really not working out for us. I will drive you home now." And then do it, and come back and finish the week in peace.
