What jae said, but not literally to that effect. Talk things over with GF and ask her what you can do to help her not be so upset about things. Tell her that you feel uncomfortable about the whole thing.
It sounds like you really care if you're loosing sleep over this. I'm all for helping people out mysef and if it were me, I would have done the "Oh hey, I was looking for a better job and stumbled upon this one...." routine.
Oh, and yeah...there was no expiration date on that dollar thing...my address is ....
i had a friend who dated a girl who's mom was like that, except worse. she had mental issues (for real), and put her kids in ridiculous situations, and not to mention constantly mooched off my friend. unfortunately, there's nothing you can really do in a situation like that. you can't call child protection on her, she's really not doing anything wrong. and if you yell at her, she isn't going to do shit. when your gf is old enough, and she really wants the best for her lil bro, she should take him in and care for her on her own. the mom doesn't sound like someone who would complain, only if she was taken to court or something.
have you talked to your girl about it? whats she think? could you just talk to the mom yourself maybe? offer to bring the little kid to the doctor, get your girl to offer to do it?
i would say, be involved, but not to the point that if shit gets way out of hand you are stuck in it like part of the family

:edit: I cant really talk to her mom, she seems to think im incompetent of doing anything besides help her do something that she tells me to do. I bought my girlfriend a portable digi-cam when her old one broke, and i go to install it, and her mom had screwed up the cdrom drive so it wouldnt read the install disk. I just said "dont worry, i have a few laying around, ill put one in", but of course, her mom said "give me that ill try", spent 20 minutes doing nothing that helped the situation, then came upstairs and told me to bring it home.
Oh, and teh girl messed up their computer bad, so i offered to save everything they need, bring it to my house, format the hdd's, and install XP Professional. Her mom just kinda chuckled at me and said "thats not necicarry, ill just delete things and that will fix it." Keep in mind, it takes this computer 8 minutes to boot, is extremely unstable, and freezes of you have more than 3 applications running. Im getting pretty used to getting my feelings hurt by her mom, not to sound like a pu55y or anything.. Im just not used to offering someone to help and they chuckle at me and wave me off. Meh. Ive learned how to tune out my parents, teachers, annoying kids, but i still cant do it with her mom
Ehh.. I dont think you are over reacting, but theres really not much you can do. My past/longest relationship had kinda something like this. It was all good at first, then her mom hated me cuz i took her daughter away too much.... long story short.. we went through the hardest times, but always looked up and made it through.
But you just need to sit down w/your girl, and see what she thinks. Show that you want to help.. blah blah. both of you could have more of an impact than just one. But good luck with everything. Hopefully her mom will realize soon. How old is the daughter? Maybe her and her bro can just pack up and leave for a relatives for now. In the short run, its gonna be hard, and it will take a while to get back to normal, but that looks like the only option.
