[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s part of growing up.  Not everyone is invited to everything.  Rude of your daughter to try to invite herself, but the other mom was polite to her.  [/quote]

She didn't try to invite herself.  She invited Larla to her own house, and then was told Larla was headed for another playdate that she wasn't invited on.  I don't think that anyone was rude, honestly.  The mom tried to smooth it over.

OP - don't send any kind of text unless you want to invite her daughter to your house for a playdate.  You think she's rude to not extend an instant invitation to your daughter to join, but in my opinion it's INSANELY rude to invite a kid on a playdate, instead of setting it up with the parents.  You don't know what they've got going on and then if the parents have to say no for whatever reason they look like the bad guy.

Also I notice that you say this mom is a newish friend to Larla's mom and you think you're being edged out - were you inviting her daughter to playdates before this change, or just your DD and Larla?  If it's the latter, do you see how hypocritical it is to be upset about your daughter being left out of playdates when you've set up plenty yourself that didn't include all classmates?  Give this mom some grace and model the behavior you say you're looking for instead - set up an inclusive playdate.[/quote]
