I've seen this situation quite a bit. I know a couple of families that are basically torn apart because parents and in-laws can't get along. Don't let that happen to you.
Make it clear to your mother that, if she can't say something nice, she shouldn't say anything at all. Make it clear to her that you love her, but if she can't follow that rule, then you can't invite her to be with you when you are with your girlfriend.
Your girlfriend should also have the same rule... I know you're not indicating that she is being rude to your mother, but she could decide to start retaliating.
