School community relationships

[Nkli]

I might be over reacting here but I am finding this really frustrating. My child is good friends with another child at school and is constantly asking to meet up for play dates etc. the mum has also become a good friend too over the past years.

i am starting to realize that although I have picked up this friend quite a few times from school for play dates at home, my child has not been at their house for quite some time (more than a year). Maybe they don’t feel like the effort but it’s extremely frustrating when, although the mum claims to be very busy each weekday, she somehow always makes arrangements to meet other school people or to have them over - but somehow not for us. Then I get a message to either pick up her child or meet up over the weekend which os very difficult for me sometimes due to family time.

This mum is a good person so I can’t help but be really frustrated with this. I did try to put in a hint .. that my child would like to go to their house sometime. And then yet again all week totally busy- but suddenly they have to to pick up another child from school for a play date next week. I just get a suggestion to meet up on a Saturday morning at a coffee shop 🤦‍♀️
