So. I got invited to a party by a friend but my mom wants to go with me. To be honest I don't really mind that much since I'm an only child and my mom and I are really close ( My dad left us) One of my friends found out about it and she started screaming at me telling me that I was crazy to do it, that everyone would make fun of me, that I'm 18 and an adult and that my relationship with my mother was not normal. Is it really wrong? I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. to be honest I don't really like parties and this is the first party in a club that I've been invited to. I'd rather stay at home and study but I already promised the guy who invited me that I would go because he's a close friend. I really love my mom. She's been there with me always. I don't really care about what people think of me but I'm afraid of what they may say to her.

I do not see anything wrong with it either. Your mom is a cool mom. As a mother I like to hang out with my daughter's friends too same with my two sons. We go bar hopping together with their friends and their friends always invites me whenever there is a gathering in their family. So basically I am friends with my them as well. It is maybe because they have a different kind of relationship with their moms and you are lucky because your mom is so cool!
Ask the guy who invited you. If he's okay with it than maybe bring her, if he's not okay with it, don't bring her. My mom and I are close too, but I would never bring her out with me. Not because there is anything wrong with her, but I don't think a childs personal life should intertwine with a parents. Its just a boundary that I wouldn't cross. The closest my mom and I have been to going out together is going to the casino, and we only went there because we were at a food and wine festival close by. I say don't do it, it might get weird, and kids now a days are rude and ignorant, and you wouldn't want anyone to say something terrible to her.
I think they'll be too scared to say anything directly to your mom, but that probably won't keep them from teasing you about it. If that doesn't bother you, then that's great.
It's not entirely "normal" to be so close with your mom, but definitely not a negative thing! I would love to be as close with my mom as you are with yours, but we don't talk much. Bring your mom with you to the party! Just make sure that you save some time for your guy friend, because I'm sure he'll want some private time with you. If he's a real friend, he shouldn't mind spending time with your mom.
You may be close but it will affect your rep with your peers. Just say "mom, i think its better off if i get some time with my friends" just tell her that you will be safe home, and sincw you're partying and drinking, DON'T DRINK aND DRIVE!!! Many other options not to do that like... Cab Designated Driver Walk (if at last stand) Stay at the party and sleep (if you can)
