 Sounds like a momma's boy. I sincerely doubt you can change his line of thinking. For him his momma is #1. So either you can accept that you pay second fiddle or you can find someone who has cut those apron strings already.
I have no doubt she is doing it on purpose. Unless of course she is an invalid/sick and have no one else to take care of her.
When you got angry about it what did he say? How did he react?

 Does he live with his mum and if yes, has he ever lived independently of her? Sounds like mum might be a bit jealous or feels threatened that she might lose him.

He may not believe it is a problem because he has always tending to his mother's needs. It's not okay at all he need to get his priorities straight...I hope you can resolve this problem soon.
