Is your girlfriend still in study? - If she is I could understand her mothers concern making sure that the firl has time to put her study first and you second. If not - isn't your girlfriend at work - if so isn't she earning a weekly wage and couldn't she move out and get her own place?
If the mother is that bad then surely moving out of the place would be the best move for your girlfriend.
in termd of helping out that is just about the best I can offer you on the info you have supplied.

Perhaps she feels she went wrong somewhere with the others and she is trying to avoid this happening again or maybe she is just taking advantage of your girlfriends kind nature.For example if she doesnt put up a fight when she is told to clean etc.Is she in education. Perhaps the moms reason for limiting your time together is so that her daughter is more focused at college etc during the week?I think the best thing that you can do is be brave, its not about proving anything to her mom - you dont have to, its about being there for your girlfriend. Maybe one night during the week you could turn up unexpectedly, break the cycle, take her to the cinema or would that cause too much friction once your girlfriend got back in?Could do with a little more info.
