To not want to talk to her anymore

This woman, a school mum, asks me to have her DD (a friend of my DD) on a school night as she has to be at the hospital for an appointment first thing the next day. I said ok as you know it's a nice thing to do I suppose. Please bear in mind at the time I was probably 22/23 weeks pregnant and very tired (also my DH had to leave for work by 7:30am). So anyway the evening is nice the kids watch a film, play for a while then bed. I separated the girls as I knew if they had shared a room they'd be up all night and as a tired pregnant woman I didn't want to be up all night with them messing about or have a crabby 6 year old after school the next day. Bedtime just was horrendous, the girl cried on and off from 7pm to 11pm. She wanted to go home, she wanted her mum, she wanted her stuffed bear, she felt ill etc. I called her mum and text her letting her know she wasn't settling but I would try and calm her down. The mum wouldn't answer the phone then when she finally did hours later I said if she doesn't settle soon she'll have to come home. No answer for another hour. Still the girl is on and off crying. We try and calm her down but she just starts right up again as soon as we leave. I'm pretty exhausted by this point. I get a text back 'what do you want to do' and I reply you need to come and pick her up she wants to go home. No reply again. Half hour later the girl has cried herself to sleep. What the hell! The morning wasn't much better not helped by the fact that I was knackered and my toddler woke up at 5.30am! I get a text today asking 'what did I do wrong, why aren't you talking to me?' and strangely enough I can't think of anything nice to say so I've been ignoring it. So AIBU to not want to talk to her anymore?

Most early doctors appointments are 8am
I she was round the corner she should've left the girl in PJs and asked you to make her some breakfast and pop her uniform in rather than stay over

Most 6 year olds are too young for sleepovers

I ask think she had a date
