My ds (8yo) has got a new friend at school. His mum keeps phoning and texting to ask if he can come over. Which is fine, but a little needy. The boy is lovely, nice manners and no bother so it's usually not a problem. On 2 occasions she just turned up with him without out any communication with us first, as apparently the boys had arranged it at school, one of the occasions was for a sleep over. We knew nothing about it and had to say no as we had other plans. He is here again this evening (for a sleepover) at her request. She has just texted to ask if he can come over again on Sunday to play (we are planning to go out for the day with our kids so have had to say no).
Our ds has not once been invited over to play at their house, and the friend is starting a new school next week so they won't be at school together anymore. Excluding dv at home meaning she wants him out of the house as much as possible for his own safety (think she is an only parent but not sure, don't really know her), which would be a different matter, AIBU to think she's being a bit pushy and should invite our ds over to them occasionally (I was raised to wait until you're invited and that to invite yourself is incredibly bad manners).

AIBU?
To be annoyed with this mum?
