Would you bother to continue trying to keep ds and this boy in touch

[fusion]

Hi
Its a bit of a daft one really but I am known to be quite sensitive about my ds and his friends and I love to keep any good friendships he has with his peers going.
My ds had a very good friend at his infant school who he got on very well with and this other boy came to our house quite a bit after school on playdates.
However my ds moved to another school and I said to this boys mom that we must keep them in touch to which she agreed.
We have always kept them in touch by texting but I must add that it has always been me that has text her about getting our dc's together, and my ds and her ds have kept in touch with having the odd sleepover at mine and then my ds having one at hers.
However I have noticed that of late she never replies to my texts asking if her ds would like to come again I know that she has had them because there was one occasion were I text her asking if her ds wants to come as my ds was asking to see him again to which I had no reply, I did text her again a number of days later and she replied by saying yes her ds would like to come and she had forgot about the last text I sent her this has happend alot of late.
I am not really sure what to think maybe she isn't that bothered about keeping their relationship going and I am beginning to think thats why she has started ignoring my texts.
What should I do should I just let this relationship go and focus on the new ones my ds has at his new school.
I am a bit of a softee and I feel upset to think that they will just now lose contact when they always had such a good friendship.
This ds's mom can be a bit laspsy daisy and forgetful but surely as soon as you become aware of a text its doesn,t take 5 mins to reply.
Funnily enough she didn,t seem the same last time her ds and mine got together her ds had been at mine for a sleepover and usually she arranges to have my ds the following weekend but she seemed as if she didin,t want to bother on that occasion.
Should I just let it go now.

I don,t want to look as though I am hounding her but I think its an awful shame I do have a landline number but I am reluctant to bother her that way.

I think unless your ds is very anxious to continue the friendship, you should let it go now, at least for a little while.

Let it go.

My guess - it's nothing you've done....it's just they've moved on and got busy with a new set of people/friends.

It happens and don't take it personally.

Your probably right but I honestly don,t know what to think about her she has never been child orientated and has never made a secret of that, and she is not one to go out of her way to engage in things that her ds will enjoy. I have met up with some of my ds's old mates and thier moms at soft play she has been invited but never seems bothered about coming.

I think you probably have to let it go. It sounds as though their lives are full with other friends and she doesn't want to invest the time and effort in keeping this friendship going.

Oh dear it feels like such a shame oh well we will survive my ds has made some great friends at his new school so I suppose we will just have to let it go.

speaking as a mum who can be a bit forget and doesn't always respond to texts. I often forget and not because I don't want to bother it's just other things take precedence. And then I get embrassed at not responding.

I also would wonder has something happened to the mother e.g something personal which is preventer her returning sleepover arrangement?

Again having suffered with depression for a while now (hence some of the forgetfulness) I haven't automatically had any children over for tea or anything, because it stresses me out.

Just trying to show it may not be as you see it.

My advice would be to ring her and have polite chat, if necessary say is everything ok, feel like we're losing touch, it may open the door to some answers to your questions.
