My son is 6 years old and has never had any difficulty staying overnight at a friend's house but the past two times he stayed at his friends, he has called me and told me that he had a stomach ache and wanted to come home. The first time I believe he did legitimally have a stomach ache but the second time, he was fine.
I have been in a relationship with a new guy for about 5 months and him and his son stay at my house on the weekends. My son has met these people and likes them, but it seems like it is when they are there that he calls and wants to come home.
I don't want my son to not be invited to stay at friend's houses anymore, but I'm afraid that if he keeps calling home, his friend won't invite him to stay.
Does anybody have any advice on how to ease his mind that things are ok at home when he isn't there so doesn't mind staying at his friends house?

You said that you and your husband have gone to counseling. Have you tried family counseling with your kids or atleast you, your husband, and your 9 year old son? Maybe that would help.View Thread
