DS1 has a friend in to play on his PS" as the weather is too bad to play out, and his sisters are ill and so are 'boring' (tonsilitis in the house, so not contagious to a visiting child who had it at the beginnning of the week).

we have now had 3 (yes, 3) children from the street knock to ask said visiting child to go out and play, but they have told DS1 that he is not invited.

this happens every single time this child comes into our house, and he actually tells them no, yet they still knock.

I have just had a word with said boys......I am so angry. I did not shout, all I said was that did they not feel as they they were being extremely rude knocking on my door for a child who does not live her, and yet not invite my son out.

they all looked at me a wee bit ashamed, but then one said.......but, we want to play with said friend, and he has a decent football which your DS1 does not have.

You are most certainly not being unreasonable - and kudos to you for pointing out to these boys how rude their behaviour was. It will be interesting to see whether their behaviour changes following this - perhaps you will have made them think!

depending on how far away said boy lives, I would be tempted to say to them that they had to go and ask his mother, not you.

Yes it is rude and I would be Angry and :( on my DS's behalf as well.

Thumbwitch, occludo is bumping a series of 2008 threads in order to insult Hecate. I've reported him.
