I highly suggest some self reflection. It isnt the kid, it’s you. Something like that shouldnt bother someone. It’s a quick “My son isnt home” and that’s all there is to it.
Rude much be happy your kid has a friend I feel bad for your son having a mother like you
What is wrong with you? You are the exact type of parent that scares me from letting my kids go to friends houses. You’re literally ignoring a childs question bc somehow you deemed it not appropriate and it makes me wonder what other rude things you’re doing.
That’s a normal question to ask where your friends are just tell him move on
My son’s friend lives next door to us. He knocks on the door daily, sometimes 5 times and he knocks like he’s the police 
sometimes I feel annoyed BUT he is a child and my hormonal grumpiness is my problem not his. I kindly say he’s at his dad until Sunday or whatever and go about my day.
His friend even comes over when im sitting outside and sits in the lawn chair next me and talks to me. He even goes and lays in our hammock in the backyard ( I told him he could whenever) even when my son isn’t home.
His friend just wants to know when he can see and play with his friend again.
Sometimes those kids are lonely and don’t have others to talk to or hang out with.
Wow, sounds like a lovely lady… siiike 
you should be loving and kind towards your sons friends, your son obviously means a lot to them!
I think you’re overreacting. Whenever my son’s friends have knocked on the door or called I have always said “I’m sorry honey he’s not here, he is gone somewhere with his dad or is at another friend’s house or wherever he is”. Now he has a his own phone and he can choose what he tells them himself.
Probably just asking to figure if he will be back soon or gone for the day. It’s a kid thing and your son may do the same thing!
Tell him it’s none of his business where your son is… 
You sound a little nutty to me 
Our yard was the place all the kids came to play. If the garage door was closed they knew not to come knocking 
I think you need to grown up he a child !
I’m a person who can’t stand being questioned when it’s not that persons business I’d just say he’s not home buddy snd tell him we’ll see him later or I’ll let him know he stopped by we hsve s neighbor like this too I had to put a stop to it though he’d just walk in and his really close friends that’s fine but groceries are expensive they walk in I ask em how school is or ehst ever sport tgeir in I’m not skways in the mood but they kinda get it n when my don gets home I’ll tell him he’ll either ask me to call his mom snd see if they can play or he’ll say he’s not in the ooos snd either is fine everydsy is excessive but msubr doesn’t have slot of friends snd it’s summer
You’re petty. Your son might be this childs only friend. My granddaughter lives with me and her friends will ask where is she when will she be home? I’ll simply say out with her mom not sure when she’ll be home but I’ll let her know you stopped by.
Ignore it. Wth ? He’s a kid
Be kind he lives your kid why so petty over such things
Kids become shit when they have un kind parents, nobody likes a shit kid. Don’t worry carry on and soon your child won’t have any friends left to play with- you’ll chase the kids away just by being you. They are 9 and 10 ffs!!and no you are not being petty you are being disgusting.
Yeah you’re being petty. What is the question hurting. Maybe he’s hoping you say at Billy’s so he can go play too
Come on. They are kids. They just want to know where their friend is so they can have a better idea of when to come back looking for him. Its not rude to ask where someone is idk where you’re coming from with that nonsense.
Tell them hes in jail 
Um I would just tell the kid they are kids and curious leave him alone
Oh no, your child has a friend and the kid misses him when he’s not home. And is comfortable/trusts you and wants go to speak to you 
how awful.
Wtf? Seriously? God for it a child asks a question.
Don’t answer the door for him…problem solved.
“He’s at xyz and will be home @ lmnop” lol look it’s easy! Getting mad and annoyed about it makes it shitty.
So apparently the unpopular opinion - but we have a neighbor down a bit and her kids constantly ask us where the kids are, why they aren’t home and where we are going ANYTIME they see us going out or when the kids are at their grandparents. I love the kids and know its curiosity but me and hubby agree it comes across as very nosey lol we always answer them but i don’t like having to explain where I’m going at every point in the day to a kid that really should learn when something is their buissness to know or not. If an adult next door neighbor was asking the same thing, you’d feel invaded and like your privacy wasn’t being respected. So to that degree I do understand. Is there a way to answer it without being completely open about it and kid friendly? Yes ofc but the feeling is still there. Just a different perspective.
and to clarify any time my girls are outside we welcome any of the kids to come play in the yard… they always come by! But I do understand the feeling of your kids privacy being invaded to a degree. Just like the op likely is not trying to be some horrid person feeling this way. I also know the kid is innocent with the request and does not understand how it comes across. 2 way street… we all have feelings… lol sometimes they are valid and sometimes they are valid but misplaced. 
They’re kids. Lol kids are notoriously known for asking questions. They wanna know where their friend is… probably gonna talk to each other about what they did and how he came over to play but he wasn’t home.
Would you rather your kid not have any friends? Be stuck in his room playing a game and depressed because no one wants to come by b/c his mom treats them badly and their parents don’t want them around him because of you??? Like many have said he is a kid who wants to play with your son. Be happy and let it go. Answer he’s not home, and keep it moving. It’s truly not a big deal 
Every single one of my kids friends call me mom, he’s a kid. Stop being weird.
Tell them where their friend went wtf?
They are children. Not sure petty is the right word.
Makes me wonder what she does when her own kids being annoying and asking lots of questions 
Tf. My kids ask where their step sister is anytime she’s not at our house and they know where she is. Kids just ask questions
Wow! Really? Who cares… just tell him he’s not home
You have some serious issues if this really bothers you. They are kids!!
I personally wouldn’t want my kids around you if I knew tjis was your mindset about kids coming over asking for your kid. Disgustingly mindset. Kids should never have to cushion their curiosity because adults dont know how to handle it.
Yes you are petty he is just a little boy and is curious and maybe wants to join the others in playing wtf is wrong with grown ass adults 
How is it unpolite for a child to ask where your son is ? I don’t get it.
Yes your petty and ignorant
Is this a serious question ? my god imagine being like this 
kids are inquisitive it’s not being nosey at that age
Sounds overly petty. 9 and 10? That’s pretty much the age that children start asking millions of questions anyway. Why would you be annoyed at a child asking you where his friend is? It shows that he cares about his friend. It’s not as of they have phones to text. I don’t even know why it seems rude in your mind. If I go to an adults house and I’m told they’re not there I’m probably going to ask where they’re at too before texting them.
If it were me at that age and you didn’t want to tell me where my friend is I’m probably going to look at you real suspect like and go home and tell my mom that you don’t know where your kid is and won’t tell no one. Then you’ll have cops at your door cuz my mom is crazy.
Just tell the kid where his friend is.
Wow… you don’t seem like a very kind or Empathetic person…I wish it wasn’t anonymous so your neighbors would know to keep their children FAR, FAR AWAY from you… you actually took the time to post online about a child knocking on your door to play with your child… that’s creepy as h*ll…
Ummm asking where is , is more polite then him just walking in ur house ? 
. How much more polite can a kid be lmfao tf.
