AIBU to think that after a play date you text/message the host to say 'thank you for having us'?

Just that really!

The other afternoon I got a text from a mum at 1.20 to say her son was 'desperate' to see my child and were we busy. I suggested she came at 2 and she said she'd be there at 2.15pm. There was no mention of me providing tea, I thought as it was early that tea would not be needed. She arrived at 3.15 with no apology for being so late. After a little while she started dropping hints about tea and him being hungry so I put some pizza express pizzas in the oven with some dough balls, they then ate their way through two packs of strawberries. They finally left at 5.30ish.

I heard nothing from her all that night so the following morning sent her a text to say 'thank you for coming over, it was lovely to see you'. I've still heard nothing from her. AIBU to expect some kind of acknowledgment of the play date? Or even a thank you. Even a quick 'thanks it was nice' would be appreciated. Maybe I'm expecting too much?

You still haven't answered, did she thank you at the time? If so a text is not necessary. Food is usual when children come to play surely? And your text was a bit effusive and needy.
