1. Did you tell the neighbors kid the RULES of YOUR HOUSE which he must respect and obey if he is to come over? If he knows what to do and not do, THEN breaks the rules that's when you speak to his mother. Sounds to me like you just assumed he would behave with no ground rules set.
2. What horrible thing did those people do to deserve such awful gifts?
2a. I'm kidding.
3. Gross.

G, you really are toooo nice!
Before long, this kid will be moved in with you eating your natty Peanut butter and chowing down your slice of pizza! How is that house guest from hell doing anyhow?
I'd talk with him and his mother. Tell them both he's welcome IF he follows YOUR family rules of the house. I'd be all over my kid if she screwed up her welcome in someone else's home! I'd even offer to bring snacks over if this was going to be an ongoing situation.
Glass gift idea: lol@ tupperware. Perhaps a piece of art they can hang on their wall so lil fingers can't reach it?
Fistfullofcock can be tamed by talking shit about his beloved Giant's.

well i haven't really said a clear set of rules because i'm usually home, and if he comes over when i'm not home... i'm not there to give him the rules.
but mostly, it's just common sense stuff that i couldn't list.
"don't play hide and seek in the closets and knock down everything on the shelves", "don't let the cats out", "don't hold the puppy in one hand"
my daughter is very mature for her age- i'm not used to 11 year old hyperactive boys
Id just stick to your guns about him not being left there without you being home. You shouldnt have stuck to your guns anyway. its your house and your rules. She'll have to come up with some other option for childcare- friend or not. If she wont allow him to be left home without adult supervision in her own home, what makes sense about you allowing it in your home?
just tell her you're not comfortable with it and leave it at that,.

I can relate, I'm really close w/ all of my neighbors. tho I dont have any kids, I've had to get out of some sit. where they were getting a little too close for confort but I like them and want to keep their friendship ; but something was making me uncomfortable.
when I get into situations where I feel uncomfortable with something, I just lie. I know it sounds bad, but a little white lie and some distance between you two for a month or so works. They get the hint, but its not enough for them to feel justified on being ticked off at you.
Tell her that you nor the kids will be there, then every time she calls, dont answer. Just for a couple weeks. That way, you are still close enough to be neighbors, but not close enough for her son to be coming over when you are not there.
Maybe???
