She should ask them about it. It may likely be a mis-understanding if she was only listening at the door. Her mother may have another family from a previous marriage that she does not want to tell your friend about. Or it could just be a joke - my parents make jokes about them having affairs with in-animate objects that take up too much of their time. Such as my dad's sportscar - we call that 'the other woman' or my mother's cell phone is 'the sugar-daddy'.
Is it normal if my mom spends more time with her "other family"?
