Everything that lurkette said. Plus this: a relationship is all about compromises. You make a compromise to understand that she likes to spend quality time with her mom. She make a compromise to respect your time, and not to screw around with your schedule, parent or not. It's all about commitment, and it doesn't seem like she wants to commit. Unless there is a ton of love towards her on your behalf, and you have enough strengh to ignore this, you need to talk to her, and negotiate (yes, like in business negotiations) the proper rules that your relationship is going to be governed by. So far, she's calling all the shots, it seems.
