Is there any way you can make groups with your friends? If not, make sure to set up meetings in public places. Not one of their (mothers) places. Preferably a library or some other "quiet place where you can focus on work"
Try to have a timeframe for how long you are going to do the meeting for. If they start talking about Anime/video game/whatever tell them you want to focus on the project, and we (read: they) can have fun later. Even if the timeframe is 'all-nighter' and they think they can afford some downtime, tell them an all nighter means working all night, and if we get finished then we can at least get some sleep. If they keep it up, pack your shit and say "I guess you're more interested in being social. I'm really not in the mood. We should plan a time to meet up to work on the project."

You're just "focusing on the task at hand" and "being studious" ... yeah :)
Seriously though; having some causal chit-chat and taking a smoke break every hour or so is one thing, but do you really want a project meeting to turn into watching multiple episodes of MLP while each of them eats a whole pizza to themselves?
