A: This really ought to be common sense for you but if mom owns or is otherwise in control of the house (ie via a lease) and mom said no - that's pretty much all you need to know. Be respectful and let that be the end of it. Even if boyfriend does have some legal right to allow you to live there over mom's objection - you shouldn't, Now if you talk to mom and convince her to give it a try - that's a different story but to basically 'force your way in' over her objection is trashy and classless. Best of luck.
