[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP.  It is unfair and hard on you.  But you want your child to have time with a friend, so you have to do the heavy lifting.

Some parents are users.  If it were just you, you’d break it off.  But you are thinking of your son.  [/quote]

But op is also “using” the other child to keep her son busy/entertained/socially engaged. The other kid may be more introverted and need less activity than op’s kid, which is fine. They are probably assuming op is happy to host since she keeps inviting them. [/quote]

This. Also, I am always willing to host a quiet easy child and it if keeps my child entertained it's win win. They are doing you a favor sending him IMO. You shouldn't be bean counting. There are kids we have over who actually make my life easier because my kids are happier and I don't have to do much. If a kid is a handful of course people will be reluctant. When my older child didn't get many invites who delved more into behavior on the few invites he got. I gave politeness prompts before. We did social stories back in the day. Teach you kid to be a good guest and if you can't why do you expect other parents to do it? Also, people are litigious these days. If your kid is going to do something potentially dangerous in my home and I already see you are defensive, no way am I risking hosting.[/quote]
