To be clear, the people that showed up at my doorstep yelling and demanding that we send home their kid are not the same people as my neighbours. But you are right—my son's friend's parents were certainly embarrassed and extremely frustrated with us. In that instance I was really uncertain about what to do: my son's friend is welcome in my home, and we are happy to have him here, and I was not about to force him to leave in the middle of the afternoon to go home with his erratic (abusive?) parents screaming on our doorstep.
