[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your mom is right. It has nothing to do with you. The friend allowed her to stay and the friend is more than able to put up boundaries where needed.

I am the type who would welcome a friend's mom and if she wanted to bring her sister and well behaved dog, I'd be all for it. It doesn't sound like your mom is being demanding or rude. She has clarified all her requests with her host, which is more than some people's own parents do when staying with them.

What are you so embarrassed about? I'm sure if your friend felt that your mom was overstepping, she would probably ask you to intervene. She hasn't. These are two adults who are communicating respectfully and effectively. Butt out![/quote]

I disagree because the friend made this offer though her friend, the daughter.

If this was purely between friend and mom then friend would have reached out directly to mom, and not via the daughter.

This is grey area where it is better not to impose additional guests and pets etc… that is pushy of mom. For mom it is probably the norm because she functions in the world like this, but this is an opportunity that came by way of her daughter and as such for etiquette purposes she should defer to her daughters comfort zone in regards to boundaries etc…[/quote]
