Does your family nitpick about your significant other?

I get so frustrated with my mom in particular about the way she talks about my SO. We have been together for 4 years and for the most part he is great, I mean no one is perfect. He treats me great, loves my 5 year old to death, recently started a great job, etc. But every time she brings him up, it seems to be from a judge mental position, like he’s not doing enough or he’s not doing things the way my dad did for my family. It is always “well Bob could do that” or “why isn’t Bob at home cooking dinner?” Or “is he helping pay for the mortgage and bills?” Or “I hope Bob steps up and XYZ”….she says she’s just being a mother and I understand, she wants the best for me, especially since my ex had an affair and we divorced (5 years ago). But even though I’ve told her many times I’m in a good relationship, I’m happy, we work together as a team, etc, she just always seems in judgement mode. And she cannot get over the fact that we aren’t married and are expecting a child together, and just doesn’t understand why once he found out he was gonna be a dad, he didn’t instantly drop to one knee. How do you guys handle situations like this if you’ve been in them? Does your family nitpick your spouse/relationship? How much personal information do you share with them?
