[quote=Anonymous]OP like others have said, he has right to be frustrated, but best to let it go. I used to host way more and that was fine with me. I was happy my son had friends. That was back in the day where if they other child was too much for us to handle we could still meet at a park with both moms there. That is what I moved to if I saw I could not keep the kid safe. That was rarely an issue with my other child's friends so we always had them over-some parents didn't reciprocate much. If we found the kid easy and the hangout went well-don't care.

These days I have way too much going on in my life and my kids are all teens. I will no longer host the kid who cannot behave because it is far more dangerous and I don't have the emotional energy for a kid who isn't mine giving me attitude.

My son has one friend who's mother sounds just like you. I don't think she can fathom just how awful her son is at our home and I understand why he was never asked to anyone else's home. He is downright destructive and I know her well enough to know she cannot take criticism because she is still fuming at minor feedback from MIDDLE SCHOOL (they are in highschool). I won't have him over and I don't trust him not to do something like shoplift if they met up on their own elsewhere. She kept inviting my son and i was happy to send him until she got uppity and started inviting her son to our home. She never asks about his behavior and I know she would lash out if I told her.[/quote]
