[quote=Anonymous]This has nothing to do with your relationship with the other mother. It's about your relationship with your child.
Does your child want to do the activities with her friend? Can you make it happen? If yes, that's what you do. If not, then you say "not this time". 
Your daughter will remember everything that you do for her and not what someone else's mother didnt do.
My oldest had a friend (met in K) who basically lived with us on weekends starting in middle school. She spent weeks on summer vacation with us, joined us for extended family celebrations, etc. It was clear, early on that her mom was not going to "reciprocate" but I was never looking for that. I was just making my daughter happy. The girls are still best best friends, like sisters, they even shared an apartment (they are 25 now) for a while after college until one moved to a different city. 
The mom and I initially were friendly but she does her thing and we chat when we run into each other but that's it. 
TLDR: Do your best for your kid.  [/quote]
