To expect an invite for DD?

My DD7 has a best friend at school who lives relatively close by. I have had best friend over for tea several times and over to play,she's a lovely little girl and enjoys coming here.
Anyway.. on more than several occasions they will both run up to me (at the school run) and say they want to play today but it's ALWAYS at our house!
They will run up to the other mum (best friends mum) and ask and she says oh we will have to arrange for DD to come over but has NEVER followed through. I seen her at the shops the other day and she said "
my DD really misses your DD will have to get them together soon" I said yes absolutely I then receive a text saying what date And what time shall I drop DD to you ? Hmm I haven't replied as I really think it's rude not to return the invite! AIBU? Me and other mum get on absolutely fine always friendly etc. Can I also mention that my DD WAS NOT invited to her party a few weeks ago Confused my DD is very well mannered so I'm so confused as to why she's being treated this way.

Your plan is very good, stick to that, don't stop having the little girl round, but when you want, on your terms, not on Mrs Users.

I will definitely stick to it. DD wants DD friend over on Monday to play i said to my DD she can but I will text mother later asking if this is ok and if it is il be giving her a time to walk her up the road to us and what time to pick up if she's not free we will be having cousin over any way so she will have someone to play with either way :)

She's missing a trick - extra kid in the house is not (necessarily) extra work. When Dd has a friend over, they play together and I have time to do my bits. Much easier than just having DD following me.

Sorry but I wpuld have the little girl over or if I did I'd be dropping hints like clangers.

Rain - any chance of getting the kids of the other parents who replied to that facebook post over to yours for a get together? Expand your DD's social group a bit??

That's a good idea I might suggest that later
