My mom and I were talking about me moving out after I graduate in June. She want's me to split rent with a roomate so living alone is not an option but I only have 1 friend who I could be roomates with and I don't want to find someone else.
SO what I need to do is convince her that he is not going to influence me to make bad choices.
She is mainly worried I will party and not do well in school (which is not true nothing will stop me from doing well in school)she mostly thinks this will happen because that's what both of my brothers did.
Im also worried IF she let's me be roomates with him that she will be so concered about what im doing she will show up at our appartment to check on me.
Im thinking about getting an appartment 20 miles away to avoid this.
The reason it's so important I convince her this is because she is going to help me out with expenses and if she finds out im partying at all she might stop helping me.
So what do I tell her to convince her?
No flame

You seem like you are in a tough spot. Your mom has reason to worry, you are asking questions on how NOT to get her upset on a guy she knows will influence you on your college life. Every kid who gets out of high school rebels some way or another.....missed class, partied with the frats/soriety, et cetera. There has got to be some reason why she distrust this guy when he is around you. What did you do in the past that got you in trouble with him in the picture. No matter if you are 20 miles away, the trip isn't far. You need to think about what is more important...having this roommate that is a must or making the meal ticket (MOM) happy. I know you may be out on your own but you aren't doing things on your own....she is helping you with expenses and once you realize that the little things get big in college you will miss some of home life (Examples: laundry, hot meals, extra income to shop, clean house) This all adds up when you are in college because we are use to this being done. Just sit down and talk with your mom and find a solution. You will never know her true outtake if all you do is guess on how she will be. Communicate with her and work something out. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays

You're looking for advice on the best way to lie to your mother? Think about this for a minute. And you wonder why she doesn't trust you?
You're not studying rocket science, are you, dearie?

The only way to convince her is to prove yourself, and you don't want to do that. Don't lie to your mother, it's totally bogus to take her money and lie to her, and doing that will eat at your soul.
