OP here.  Thanks for the replies!  I agree that I think something else is going on besides the small house.  I actually suspect that her husband is dealing with some kind mental illness, but I don’t know her that well, so she hasn’t said anything.

The issue isn’t that she doesn’t reciprocate.  She has taken my child to the zoo a couple of times.   It’s that sometimes I have something else I want to do during the time the boys make plans to get together.

I’m okay leaving my son (9) alone, but I don’t want to leave both boys on their own for more than a few minutes.

Your son should check with you first and if he doesn't it is fine to cancel .  This seems like the bigger issue.[/quote]

This - my kid is about the same age and after some confusion and frustration on my end- she now knows she has to clear it with both parents and the parents need to confirm with each other.[/quote]

Yup. Our rule is "an invitation is only real/plan is only confirmed if I hear it from a parent." Kids will constantly make plans and then be told they have baseball practice or something. [/quote]
