My BF and I hang out on the weekends and my family has known him for seven years. However, every time we hang out, my brother has to be there. (We hang out in public btw). My brother hates going to the place we hang out and he makes my mom come get us early, which takes time away from me and my BF’s time together. We only see each other on the weekends and we go to different schools. My brother is also really annoying to us and hangs over us all the time. How can I convince my mom to let me hang out with him without my brother there? I understand why my mom is making him go but I want to spend time with my BF without my brother around.

Well at least it's your brother tagging along and not your parents! But I totally understand that it's impeding on your quality time. Maybe if you went somewhere your brother enjoyed more, you'd have more time to hang out with your BF?
Or try to come up with some alternatives so your brother doesn't have to be around. Like, maybe you could hang out at your house instead. Maybe you could just watch a movie in the living room or something. Or maybe if you have a bunch of other friends with you, your parents wouldn't require your brother to tag along.
Try talking to your mom and let her know that you understand her reasoning for having your bro chaperone, but that it's cutting into your time with him because he always wants to leave early since of course it's not necessarily fun for him. If she's willing to compromise, I'm sure you guys can work out something that satisfies the both of you.
