I think it was a bit of a cheap shot to say something about your relationship with your mother. Considering how she lashed out like that, there might be something else here. I would have been hurt by that. I mean I wouldn't ever take a shot at my wife or gf like that. I consider that to be an almost antoagonistic stance on the subject. You asked her if she'd fly home. She said something about your less than perfect relationship with your mom. She almost seems like a parental relationship eleitist.
I say weigh your options. I mean if you love her, it might be worth it to bear the parent thing for a little while longer. Yea, it'll be annoying, but all you can do is tell her that it bothers you. She can either accept that it bothers you and try to tone it down a bit, or ignore you and let it continue.
Best of luck.
