So a couple things at play here, and I'm sorry but i'm sure it's probably not what you want to hear....
1. I will never understand how anyone would expect a normal reaction when telling people about AB. I think probably the best you can possibly expect is a neutral reaction. Positive ones are exceptionally rare.
2. If they're paying your bills, they hold all the cards and rightfully so. This is why getting a good job and finally getting to move out is such a big deal. It means you're not being supported anymore and you can finally spend your money how you want. If she's against you spending your money on diapers, she's going to be able to stop you by withholding the money that would have gone to pay for other things. (food and gas)
3. Her house, her rules. She has every right to control what goes on in her house. If you're an adult (and I assume you are being you're on this site) being allowed to stay in your parent's home is really a luxury when it comes to expenses. In exchange, you're trading away some of your liberties for the time being.
I know this is a hard couple of things to hear. By all means, I'm not trying to be discouraging. But living with your folks is a tough time for most folks for a reason.
