I thought she was being really rude!

A friend of mine moved close to me a few months ago. We have daughters who are close to the same age so we go to each others houses to let them play. Her daughter is 6 & mine is 5. Well the last time I took my daughter over to her house to play a girl from the neighborhood came over and asked if my friends daughter could go to another girls hours to play (which is just 3 houses down) and my friend let her daughter go. I didn't let my daughter go because the one time I did they left her to walk home by herself. So she let her daughter leave her company to go play with other kids. My daughter had been asking to play with her daughter. My friend knew this. She also knew I would not let my daughter go play at another kids house. I thought that was really freaking rude. How is it okay to let your kid just leave their company. It shouldn't matter that we have been friends for a long time so she will be okay or that she has a two year old my dd can play with. I didn't take my daughter over there to play with a two year old. My dd is an only child and not used to a baby so she doesn't really like to play with the two year old. I just thought it was really rude to do that. I want to talk to her but I am a pretty non confrontational person and I'm not all open about talking about feelings. I really just wanted to rant. I know I need to talk to her though I just don't understand how an adult can think its okay to leave a child out. She knew what she was doing. This is the second time it has happened. I just don't know how to word what I want to say without hurting feelings or starting a fight over it. Thanks for letting me rant.

I agree.

I agree, I would have told the other child that my child has company now and can come play later.

I've never had this problem I have 5 kids so they always have someone to play with.

Quoting Mazie0723:

Maybe the nxt time she asks u and dd over say something like "We'd love to! But, u know dd loves playing with your dd, especially since she's an only child. Is it ok if your dd doesn't leave her alone to go play with other kids? She was really down and disappointed last time"

that was rude & since my child no longer had entertainment, I would have excused us & left.

That is rude. When I was little every once in a while I went to my consigns house for the night. My cousin wrecked her 4 wheeler and her other cousin (who lived next door) came to see if she wanted to ride four wheelers with her. They rode on the same one leaving me to sit on the couch alone. I called my mom and never went over there again.
