I guess I should clarify myself just a little bit.
Why the mom would want to stay at their place is beyond me.  However, if indeed that's what she really wanted to do, I think it would have been a really good gesture on the part of the other roommates (Broe, Ghetto and BF) to allow her to do so.  I agree that it would have been an inconvinience (sp?) for a day or two but as I said earlier, it would have been a sign of respect for the parent, and that undoubtedly would have gone a long way (especially for the BF if he was planning on getting serious with this girl).

However, my friend, this is ATOT, where respect for one's parents is nonexistant.
		
 
		
	 
How about respect for one's roommates by giving more than a few days notice as to when visitors are coming.  Especially about the time when the roommates are planning a party.  I don't think respect for the mom is even the issue, it is how poorly either the BF, the GF, or the mother planned things.
And it is kind of creepy that she wants to stay there anyway.  There are two guys who afaik are strangers to her living there.
		
 
		
	 
Is it the fault of the other roommate for not notifying them about the mother's plans earlier if he had known all along?  Yes.
Is it the fault of the mother that the other roommate didn't notify them?  No.
Regardless, I don't think higher priority should be placed on a party when compared to a visit from a parent.  Edit:  The majority of you seem to disagree with me. I guess that's just how I was brought up.  
I agree with you on the part in bold.
		
 
		
	 
I was brought up that respect goes both ways.
		
 
		
	 
So was I.  In this case, would it have hurt for them to first give a little respect first and then expect some back?
I completely understand what all of you are saying.  It seems as if the mother was invading their privacy, which is a definite no-no.  However, seeing as how all those plans got cancelled, I wonder how the GF will react when she gets back.  It definitely won't be pretty and they may have to put up with it for a while.
Ultimately, I think it's the BF's fault.  First for not notifying his roommates earlier and second for miscommunicating with his GF and/or the mother.
