And then I won't hear from them anymore. Sometimes, their own child will come up to me after school and begs me "can your daughter come to my house?" and I have to sadly say no, because I know the mom has refused.
Is it possible that the other moms don't click with you, for whatever reason, so they don't want to arrange playdates with your daughter because they don't want to do the mom talk that often comes with it? If you seem over-eager or pushy about the playdates, it may be turning the moms off. They may be under the impression that you really want to chat and spend time with them, and that's what they aren't interested in. I've heard that some moms can be clicky and only want their kids to play with the other kids whose moms they really like and want to spend time with.
