[quote=Anonymous]Op, I haven't read through all the replies, but I want to share a different perspective. I grew up with a mom who would keep a tally of how many times I went to a friend's house and how many times they came to mine. And she would demand I tell my friends why I wasn't inviting them over again. I couldn't do it, so I was often alone. IT WAS AWFUL. And so incredibly stressful. I promised I would invite kids, adults, etc no matter if it was reciprocated. AND I would make those at my house feel welcome and comfortable even if it was invite #100 to their invite #2.

I say this gently: some of us on this board with challenging children would give our right arm to have a friend for our kid like you have for yours. Please nurture that relationship. It truly doesn't matter WHY they aren't asking you over as much. It could be that they are afraid their son is going to have a monumental meltdown and will lose what is likely his only friend. Who knows? What matters is that he has a friend. Please let your boy continue to invite his friend over. [/quote]
