Its a CHILD asking a simple question. Curiosity isn’t rude, kinda makes me think something else is going on that you can’t answer a simple question.
You are being petty 
at that age they just ask lots of questions. Asking where your son is it’s not that big of a deal. Mainly I imagine they are trying to figure out what time he will be back. You’d hate my neighborhood. I get GROUPS of kids looking for mine all the time. Do I get annoyed absolutely not
I’m sure he just genuinely wants to know where his friend is. I doubt he’s trying to piss you off 
My kid would so get on your nerves then🤣
What? Just say he’s wherever he is. If that bothers you then you need help
They’re really not wondering where is he as more to when he’s coming back …where he went will most definitely give them a ball park as to his return… that would be my guess ……
Huh! You got deep issues to deal with sis, find a therapist

You sound like the grumpy old neighbor. Kids want friends to play with. What’s the issue?
Maybe make a sign to put on your door when he’s not home?

Umm why is it not polite to ask if your son is home? The kid is just trying to play it seems to me you’re the one with some issues.
Just tell him he’s not home right now and you’ll send him over to play when he is?
How is it not polite to ask? And why would you ignore a child when they’re simply asking a question?
I think it’s sweet he enjoys your sons time and checks in. That’s a good friend. I love when my sons friends ask where he is.
It seems odd that you’re so bothered by it.
If you continue this petty behavior, you’re gonna be the reason your son has no friends. Is that a better alternative for you?
So I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that ur coparenting situation isn’t what u are ok with and the question triggers u. They r children. If they can’t ask questions to adults because they are innocent in asking because they are children and we as adults are supposed to be able to understand this then what int he world would happen. So maybe petty isn’t the word as much as say 
ignorant

U being petty asf
Kids are inquisitive for one
Second that’s his good buddy if he coming over to play daily
He missing his friend
He prob wishing he could’ve went
Treat kids gently always!!!
Unless they just lil bad mofos, but thn treat them gently too…they be the ones really needing love!
His question is meant to ask when he will be home.
Not petty at all but the word that starts with a B!!!

Oh i probably would have done that awhile ago if I didn’t think that where my kid was appropriate for this child to know. It’s ok. You can absolutely be blunt with children. More adults probably should be - otherwise how will they learn?
The fact this child comes to your home almost daily means your home represents a safe haven for him. While he is there to play with your son, he must also find comfort in your home. Perhaps you may be able to look at this situation from a different perspective.
That innocent child wants to play. And he wants to know when will his friend come back(where is he)
I think it’s sweet that the kid is so fond of your son

You sound like a major b!+€#
Honestly yea. They’re kids. While it may be none of their business necessarily. That child just wants to know where their friend is. They probably don’t mean anything by it and kids are innocent. They’re just genuinely curious. To me that’s not really a big deal. I would just politely tell them where they are and leave it at that. I think it’s great your child has a friend who cares about them so much and is genuinely concerned. You don’t get a lot of those in life. That’s my opinion though.
He’s just a curious little guy. Those are questions kids those age ask. My youngest has next door neighbor friends and if our car isn’t there he will usually ask when he sees us again “I saw your car wasn’t there, where did you guys go?” If I said “he went down the street to play with so and so” my neighbor kid would prolly want to go there too to play with everyone. Is it that hard to say “oh he went out with his gramma” or “he’s at his aunts house” like, stop. He’s not hurting anyone
I guess most of you didn’t get the memo. She says, when her son is out he still asks where. So I would just say he’s out pretty simple
.
It’s petty, but it’s also OK to tell him it’s none of his business. 
My neighbours kids are ringing my doorbell at 7am to tell us their going camping 
kids are kids let them be harmless:raised_hands:
This is a joke post right?
I grew up in the late 90s early 2000s when you had to go door to door and talk to parents and find your friends. If my friends weren’t home it was a simple, “hey they aren’t home but will be at X time or X day” and “I’ll let them know you came looking”. How hard is that to say even in this day and age. They are literal kids who are asking a reasonable question. 
If I was your kids friend I would’ve stopped coming by a long time ago due to your attitude alone. Just saying…
He’s a kid, man. He just wants someone to play with. It’s definitely not impolite for him to ask where his friend is.
What is the root cause of you being annoyed ? Can we focus on that?

Yep it’s Petty the kids wants to play and he’s hoping to find him
So what if he ask where he is . He is a child with a normal question.
Hes a child. I suppose you could say something like “if I tell you he’s not home, you don’t need to know where he is. He should be home at x time and I can have him call you when he’s available to play”… but I also literally don’t understand why you can’t just tell him where he is haha. He’s a child.
I think you have a serious mental problem and you should go to therapy, the problem is not those children, you have to see what exists in your mental health for something so simple to irritate you.

Super petty. Their just kids!
I WISH there were kids in the neighborhood coming to ask if my kids could play.
I’m not sure what the problem is
It’s a ten year old…of course he ask to play? Like how else is he supposed to know if your son is over or not if he does not ask?
Ewwwww no ma’am…my child would no longer be coming to your precious house anymore
Eek and that’s what makes parents fearful to have their kids at another person’s house
Lol how is it not polite to ask that……?
Haha. Hey boy mom. Relax. None of those rules are rules anymore.
That seems like a normal kid question, I’m not getting the problem.
Sounds like your feeling guilty about your son going somewhere!!
I can’t imagine being so petty that a child asking an innocent question would get on my nerves so much i need to consult fb over it.
Definitely overreacting… he’s a kid who just want to play with his friend.
I guess I don’t understand what the issue is by telling them where he is…it’s not impolite to ask where someone is lol I also would be careful about being rude to them because if they go back and tell their parents, their parents might not allow them to come back over and play…you would have ruined a friendship for no reason. As everyone said…they are kids…it’s not like it’s a grown person asking for the location of your children. Might be annoying for them to ask all the time but they are just kids…take a breath and answer the question lol
My daughter has friends that ask her to play. Sometimes she not here and they ask where she is. Kids are naturally curious. I just tell them she with family that wanted to see her too
Honestly sounds like you just dont like the kid because that is a weird thing to get upset about imo
All he is asking is ‘when will he be back?’ But not with those words. All you have to do is say he’s out and about or he’ll be back in an hour or so. Kids don’t always ask in the best way but it’s up to us how we approach the answer for them. I now have a sign that says which kid is at home or out so they know if they should knock or not.

Your being Petty Very Petty… They are kids don’t you remember being a kid??
Just answer the KID…
That is probably just his way of wanting to know if he is home or not to hang out
Asking “where” doesn’t seem as rude as when then ask you “WHY” when you say they can’t play. That irks me, but that’s due to my dad telling me not to ask that when I was a kid. I remember him hearing me ask a friend that on the phone and he gave me a talk that stuck with me lol
He’s a kid ! I agree with some of the other posters. It’s nice your son has friends. And that come knock on the door instead of waiting on the mommies to arrange a play date
He’s honestly just curious cause he wants to play 
how is that rude?? Lol this seems wild to me.
Are you ok? That’s a weird thing to be upset over. be grateful your child has friends. Some kids have none, or they live too far to play regularly. I grew up on a highway with no neighbors. No friends to speak of. It was lonely.

Jeez why you getting annoyed about them asking where their friend is…. Man you should be grateful that your child has friends. He just wants to hang with his friend.
Your petty as hell!!! He is a child. You should be happy your child has somebody wanting to play with him.
How is it not polite to ask where your sons at if he just wants to play? Just be a grown woman and tell him he’s either not home or he can’t play right now!
She would be complaining if the kid didn’t play w/her son! She should be happy her son has a friend to play with and cares about her son, some kids don’t! RUDE AND PETTY!
Honestly it’s normal for kids to ask that. I’m sorry your annoyed but I promise you, your son does it too.
Don’t scare your sons friends away

What’s wrong with a kid that age wondering where their friend is? Be glad you live in an area where your kids friend CAN come to play
Ok, unpopular opinion I see, but I think it’s annoying too. 
Thoughts ? You’re a fucking bitch that’s what .
He doesn’t care where your kid is, he really just wants to know when he’ll be home to play. He’s a child for goodness sake, just avoid telling him where he is and say “he’ll be home to play soon” or “he’ll be a while and can’t play today”
I personally would pro ably be a bit annoyed but I would also come up with fun answers. Such as he went looking for dinos or went back in time
You need to remove whatever stick like object is shoved where the sun doesn’t shine what a stupid thing to be mad about wtf
Wtf?
Just say where he is, no big deal you psycho
Petty isn’t the word I would use but yeah definitely. He’s not doing anything wrong asking where his friend is you need to chill

Tf is wrong with you? You either have misplaced anger or anger issues to be bothered over something like this.
Holy shizz ballz relax answer the poor kid he plays with your son everyday !!!
That’s not even an intrusive question I think you’re over reacting he’s just a kid
If ur thar bothered, I don’t want my kid going to ur house.
He is a child and not all children are able to articulate on the same level as adults. If you don’t want to disclose where your son is, just say he isn’t home.
You should be thankful that your son has a friend who is concerned about his whereabouts. Loosen up a little!
If ur son isn’t home then don’t Answer the door lol
“He’s not home”
They’re not asking for his freaking coordinates

Be glad your son has someone to play with and their friend is curious as to where your son is that’s a good friend imo so it’s you like Taylor swift said it’s me I’m the problem it’s me
I have this same problem but it’s more along the lines of my doorbell constantly going off agitating my dogs and me having back issues to boot that causes me to be irked. I got to putting a note on my door saying ‘please do not disturb thank you’ when my kids are grounded or gone. Some kids ignore the note but it has cut back on my doorbell ringing daily.

How is it not polite to ask to play?
I could see if he was rude or obnoxious or saying/doing mean things but it sounds like your neighbor is really excited to play with your son and you don’t appear to like him. That’s sad.
I don’t even have words. 
I have kids about that age, that come over and ask where my son is at. Then it’s like where is he, I’m like he’s not home. They will ask again where is he. Well I don’t think it’s their concern where my son is at. If my son wants to tell them fine. But I don’t see why I have to tell his friends where he is at. It kinda sounds nosy to me. I just say he’s not home I’m not sure when he will be home. It’s the questions after questions that irk me. Lol. I kinda get where you’re coming from.
Gross behavior. Your poor kid…
Grow tf up. Ugh it irks me when people have kids and can’t just be kind to others’ children… they’re kids…
You are worst than Petty , how can a 9 year old annoy you ???
One time my daughter got in trouble by a mom because she asked why the girl didn’t have a door on her room. The mom told her it was rude to ask. She never went back.
Maybe youre the only place he feels safe? Maybe your son is his only friend? Or maybe his parents are working or whatnot?? …hes a kid just tell him hes not home and to come back later
Yes your definitely petty for being annoyed by such a thing.
Why are people so nasty to kids? Just why??!!
Well since you asked, yes you’re being petty.
I wouldn’t say anything. I’d promote kids to engage in conversation. Shy kids have a rough life growing up.
Well aren’t you a ray of sunshine.
The kids might feel comfortable in your home rather than theirs look at the bigger picture
I hope his parents only have your son over from now on because I certainly wouldn’t trust you with any child with that attitude.
Yeah you’re petty they are children I’m confused by why that would bother you
Who cares … if you don’t want to tell him don’t…
Just say “he’s out with a friend” or “he’s out with family”.
