(This is a repost of my other resolved question but in details!!)
I am seventeen years old. I have been bestfriends with this one girl for 3 years. But her mom never really let us hang out until this past summer. We live on the same block. At 6 o'clock my best friend calls me up and tells me her mom gave her permission and if I'll come over and watch a movie. I went. By the time the movie was over, it was 7:30. Then we went online and 8 PM her mom came in and told me "It's time for us to go to bed and time for you to leave" The thing is her daughter stays in my house all the time. My mom never told her anything like this EVER. When she is over, we always ask if she wants anything to eat and drink and always bring something because she may be shy and not ask. But one of the few times in 3 years I ever went to her house this happens!! Get this, whenever I went (I've only been to her house 3 times including this time) they never ask me if I want anything either.

I think she was rude. If she wanted you to leave by a certain time, it should have been included in the invitation.
"You can come and watch a movie, but we have to go to bed early tonight. Could you be sure to head home around 8?"
As for not offering you anything when you are there, that is partly your friend. She should be offering or going to ask her mom if you can have a drink or whatever while you watch your movie. It sounds to me like they might not be very social people and because the parents aren't, the daughter hasn't been taught how to be a hostess. (Just a guess)
Don't hold it against your friend and unless she says something about her parents being rude, don't make a big deal out of it. It will only make your friend feel bad and this isn't really her fault.

Well, the mom certainly has the right to tell you it's time to go, she should be polite when doing so. As for them never offering you something, some people are just stingy, or they think you eating and drinking at their house will cause them to run out of groceries, etc. Just ask for something while you're there, but don't overindulge.

Sounds like your friends mom has some issues and isn't comfortable with having other people stay over. You should talk to your mom about this and let her take care of the situation. But to answer your question, yes, it is rude of her to behavior this way.

Everybody is not the same. It may be the way that your friend's mother was raised. Maybe her parents acted that way or either her mother never had any friends growing up and is jealous of her daughter's friendship with you.

WOW, i always get tempted to invite people but then i also think they won't come and they are just wasting space on my invitation list, that i could have invited someone else that i am a little more close to.
don't be an indian giver. i think it is better to invite than uninvite.

Remember this: everybody wasn't raised the same. If the girl is truly your best friend accept her AND her faults (crazy parents). Because she accepts you AND your faults (whatever they may be).

yes, it's rude.
so, her mom is kinda crazy... why are you trying to compare her mom to yours? you shouldn't blame your friend for her mom's faults. obviously, she doesn't get to have friends over very often, so you shouldn't cut her off... just stay prepared for crazy mom antics. it will be ok.

Yes, I think it was rude and weird, to ask you to leave so early.
