I think it is time to get your own place.

It's possible he eats better at your bf house because there is less stress... Babies pick up on all kinds of things. Try to not let what others are saying get to you. Do what you need to do. Instead of freaking out at your mom, why not call her on what she is saying. The next time she tells you you are not watching your son, ask her to explain - tell her you are watching him. Is she watching him while you go to school/work during the day or are you there all day? If you are out, offer her money (like a daycare) or find someone else to watch him.

sweetheart, you will always have someone correcting everything you do. I have family members (my husband's side) that are always correcting me. It hurt my feelings so much, but i finally told them not to give me their advice or opinions unless I asked for it. Good luck sweetie and don't let people make you feel like a bad mother.
