mike's mom seemed to have a drastic change of attitude about the relationship between what was shown to have transpired during her visit to the household and her behind the scenes attempted interference with the wedding. based on what she was saying were her concerns (natalie trying to change everything about mike) it makes me wonder if mom didn't watch the previous season where it was much more apparent that natalie wanted mike to make major life changes (religion, kids right away...) until after natalie had arrived in the states/mom had already completed her visit.
