There is always one person in a group that has to go home first.
It sucks but once you go to university or get a job and move out then you'll be a lot more free.
Your mum is just doing the best she can.
I was in exactly the same situation as you, and it's something you just have to put up with. It won't be long before you can move out and then you'll be fine.
Good Luck!! xx
