Mom has issues with my gf
A little background info to start you guys off.....I've been with my girlfriend for 4 months now and we live really close to each other (40 mins). She visited me as often as she could with work and all and vice versa with me (I didn't have work). I got drafted to play baseball for the Houston Astros and they shipped me off to Tennessee for the summer. She came out to visit once for a week and that was great. She came out again on the 9th of August for 2 weeks and leaves on the 25th. My mom and grandma are out here as well. They came out on the 18th and leave on the 24th.
So when my girlfriend first met my mom she thought that she didn't like her. I told her otherwise and that she did like her. So I left her with my mom and grandma today, which so happened to be here 20th birthday, and she was saying that my mom said some pretty nasty things about her (which my mom didn't know that she could hear) and they hurt her feelings a lot; such as how she didn't like the earrings she was wearing and some other things. There was also a proposal at the ballpark today and my mom said "I'm glad thats not *insert my name* and *insert my gf's name*. She is really frustrated and really sad. She just wants to fit in with our family and my mom is making it very hard. My gf is trying really hard to have my mom like her but it doesn't seem to be happeneing. I finally saw what she was talking about tonight at dinner with the way my mom acted. I really don't know what it is that my mom doesn't like about her but for some reason it seems like she doesnt.
I'm just looking for some advice on what to do. I think I need to have a talk with my mom and see what she says about those things but I'm not sure about how to go about it. I could use any help and its much appreciated. Thanks everybody.
