This is given as a version of 'we are only waiting for Mum to join us'.
But couldn't it also mean 'we are no longer waiting for Mum to join us'?
On n'attend plus que Maman nous joigne

Hi Tom,
This is an interesting question.
In fact, to avoid confusion you would use 's'attendre à ce que' to convey an expectation rather than just waiting for something to happen.
On ne s'attend plus à ce que Maman nous joigne
in other words,
she won't be coming now
Hope that helps!
