‘Dropping everything’ to be there for a friend

So my friend called me up in tears asking me to come round and stay overnight tonight and she’s had a panic attack.
When I told my mum I was going, she was quite surprised and said ‘so you’re just going to drop everything and go to hers?’ And found it really strange, acting as though the friend is using me.
In all honesty I was hoping to have a relaxing evening in but I feel like in a situation like that, you can’t really say no to a friend, especially as she is completely home alone as her parents are away. Thoughts?

As long as your friendship is fairly equal and you'e happy then there's no problem.

As long as you weren't in the middle of something important, I don't see any problem with you going to help a friend in need. I wonder what your mum would say if the roles were reversed - I'm fairly sure she'd want someone to be there for you if you were in distress.

Seemed like a bit of an odd reaction. Did you mum expect you to just ignore your friend?
