My Friend wants her mom to come shopping with us!
I have this friend who cant go to the mall alone. I offered my BFF and her to go to the mall, but she said that she would go if her mom with us! I can tell I cant be myself or buy the things I would regularly buy with her mom around. UGHH! How can I tell her I dont want her freakin mom to come to the mall with us!

Do you want to remain friends with this girl?
It's a few hours. Suck it up, make nice, ask mom about her life experiences. At the very least it can be interesting. If it's a horrible experience, you will eventually have a good story to tell.

If your friend can't go to the mall alone, and you knew that she couldn't go by herself before you asked her, why would you ask? You know what the rule in her house is, and if it's something you don't agree with, you shouldn't even ask her to hang out.
To be honest, her mom doesn't have to be with you guys the whole time. There's this thing called a cell phone, and you guys can split up. Her mom can go one way, and you and your friends can go the other and whenever you're done, you can call her mom & then hang out time is done. It's really not that hard. That way, she can go, and the rules won't be broken and her mom's feelings won't be hurt.

Hello.
Wait, I'm a little confused. Is she not allowed to go to the mall without her mom or does she not WANT to go without her mom? I think you should just be upfront about this. Tell her that, though her mom is cool, you'd like to just hang out with her. You can bring up something about age differences or play it off like you're embarrassed. Tell her that you want to talk about cute boys without her mom there, because it's embarrassing (lol)!! (That's just an example. Other excuses would work) Worse case scenario, your friend, or her mom's rules, will continue to be difficult. You could always just find other "mall" friends and hang out with this one friend for different occasions (like say a movie, or dinner). Also, maybe she would want to (or be able to) hang out without her mom if you brought a bigger group of friends with you. Instead of three girls, you could hang out with 6, for example.
I know this can be frustrating, but sometimes parents are a little overprotective. You can't really change it, but you can work around it. Try to have a lot of close friends so that you never feel bummed about not being able to hang out with one of them. Also, it might not be such a bad thing to hang out with this girl and her mom every once in a while. Eventually, things may change.
Good luck and take care.
