To want DD1 at home for her birthday?

DD1 is currently away at school, due to come home next week and be here for her birthday for the first time in five years! She will also finally get to meet 3week old DD3 and I've been looking forward to it for weeks, especially as due to being me very pregnant, DH having to be away and DD2 having to go into hospital with a fractured arm, she couldn't come back for half term.
However, she called me this morning full of excitement as she and a group of friends are asking to go back to a friend's house straight after finishing school for a week. I understand why she wants to go, and know that all of these friends are lovely girls.
AIBU to ask her to come home? I haven't seen her since May and want her to meet DD3 as soon as she can, as well as the fact it's her big 16th birthday, and due to the school calendar, I know she won't be able to be here for the next two, 17 and 18. I really want her to be happy- am I being selfish or PFB?

I'm not talking about half term, I'm talking about the relish with which some people are having a dig. Unpleasant and off the point.

I think so, more, but have done on one or two baby name threads already and have pretty much outed myself to anyone who knows me already!

Couldn't she have flew back from France?

She gets incredibly anxious over flying, and we usually manage it if she's got someone with her, but the last time she flew alone she had an awful panic attack. When she comes back from Paris she'll be with two of her best friends (twins) who live an hour from us, so they're all travelling from Charles leGaul to Manchester together, thankfully!
