We're both really young and still live with our parents. My gf comes over to stay with me for several days at a time. My parents never minded since we're both adults technically. For the last few weeks my mom has been getting onto my gf for little stupid things that she doesn't even do. Mostly stuff like noises at night, food going missing, the water bill, anything! It doesn't matter how well behaved my gf tries to be. She can't seem to escaape being my moms target. My girlfriend is so sweet and sensitive so I come in between them and handle my mom. My gf never argues or yells back at my mom. She just gets very nervous and sometimes it makes her cry when my mom does this in front of others. If I'm busy or in another room my mom will corner my gf and just yell at her. I'm always the one to come to the rescue. Should I keep coming to her side or should I let my gf learn how to stand up to my mom and others?

She is spending too much time at your house. It is likely getting on your mother's nerves. I'm not saying your mom should yell at or corner your girlfriend, but bottomline is it is your mom's house. Your girlfriend needs to spend less time there and give some space for a little while at least.

Yes but probably the best thing you can do is spend less time at your moms. At this point your GF is an imposition of the rest of your family. Perhaps it's time for you to move out, not necessarily in with your GF but out of your mom's house.

Your mom is trying to get a point across.....if your GF is going to be spending that much time at your house, she needs to start contributing like buying food, put money towards the household bills, and cleaning.

 

If you two are adults, then you both need to stop freeloading off the folks and move out on your own.
