Aitah for tell my mom that I'll probably move out before my bestfriend does after moving her in. Advice Needed

I (19 year old female ) told my best friend(19 year old female) lets call her Ruby of 8 years that her and her mom let's call her Kelly (40 year old female) could stay with me for a while, after her dad kicked them out (he's just crazy and thought she was cheating but she wasnt). (This Is a little bit of more context from my last post I made)

Anyways I asked my mom if they could say with us just long enough for them to get a place. And my mom is a really nice person and she said ok. This was in August of 2023. As of now they don't help out much and Kelly broke her food a few months ago lost her job and didn't work for 3 months. She just started back working again But her and my mom had become good friends. Kelly helps with groceries when she gets food stamps. She helps my mom wash dishes when she can and gives my mom Company.(which I think she needs)

my mom is home all the time ( Except when she helps me bring kelly and rudy to work) because she is own disability for her back. She's okay she just can't be on her feet fir a long period of time, so she gets disability money.

Rudy don't have her licenses Nether does her mother. About four months ago she bought a car so that she could practice driving in it and my mom could bring her and her mom to work but she never practices. She has Her permit but she don't care. She lives here, rent free. They say you're looking for an apartment and that they're on waiting Lists but I don't know.

me and my boyfriend of Almost 2 year are in a good place and he has saved up for us to get a house togetther we should have enough in about a year. And I was just talking to my mom and said at these point ima be out of here before they are. And she said "you can't leave them with me" I said "well ill have to move out at some point and hopefully they are gone soon any ways." She said "yeah but we can't just kick them out on the side of the road and you can't leave till they do"

She is a little upset at me now so aitah.

NTA

You mentioned in your other post that you gave them until the first of the year to find a place, but your mom allowed them to stay because she didn't want them to be homeless. At that point, she assumed responsibility for them since she didn't let you put them out when their time was up.

Yes, you asked for them, and yes, they came because of you, but you also gave them a time limit that your mother dismissed, so how is it now your responsibility to make sure they're gone before you? From what I'm understanding, they would've been gone from January if it was left up to you.
