In a small (very small) defense of Jeri, parents have to be teaching teenagers how to socially interact with a wide variety of people. What is or not acceptable behavior should be on the menu.
I’m glad my daughters’ friends actually like me, but it’s partly because I don’t try to “horn in”. One even sent me a friend request on FB…which I politely declined.
This is too good an opportunity to pass up. Mom should go dig out her shortest short shorts from college, that tee shirt she paints in, the one with the huge arm holes cut out, and some bunny slippers. Add some curlers. And maybe find great-grandma’s old dentures in that box in the attic and display them on the table beside her in a glass of water. And when the friends arrive, “Jeri, do your little friends want some Kool-Aid and Melma toast before we all sit down and talk about our periods? You have such great stories about yours.”
My Mom liked when my friends were over. That way she could keep an eye on me and knew what we were up to. The only time we saw her was when we got quiet. Hmmm….?
What a way to talk to your mother. I’d tell her her friends are NOT coming over and she is grounded for a month. See if she continues to show such blatant disrespect.

No “male friends” will be coming over. Just her posse of snooty elitists.
