As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Concerning one who leaves a salah intentionally until its time expires, he will never be able to make up for that salah. Such a person should turn to Allah and ask His forgivness and increase his good deeds and nawafil in order to increase his weight [of good] on the Day of Resurrection.

The only excuse for missing a salat is sleep or unconsciousness:

The prophet(saw) said, "There is no negligence while one is asleep but forgetfulness occurs when one is awake. If one of you forgets the prayer or sleeps through its time, then he should perform the salah when he recalls it." [agreed by the four]

In regards to your mother being held accountable for your failure to pray, Allah tells us that no one can bear the sin of anyone else...When a child reaches the age of puberty he or she is held accountable for his or her own sins.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
