Frivolity in Front of One's Mother

Question

When the Shulchan Aruch states that one should not be frivolous and speak excessively with one of the forbidden relatives, does this include one's mother and sister?

Answer

Shalom Rav

It is permitted to be frivolous in front of them.

They are not like other women with whom it is prohibited.
