Her mom has to know her daughter has been dating you so that should be a sign of hope, right? So I think its very possible that she is but waiting for you to get your act together to be a good husband, and thats fair for a mother to expect. Maybe don't be desperate, or panic, as it seems time will yield results, as you cannot expect a mother to get involved with a young fellow who has no way to support her daughter, YET!!!
I say keep working, and do not fear letting her mother know you, and see if you are a good hardworking guy for herself. If you intend to take the daughter with blessings of the mother, you better get over your fear, and engage with her.
Waiting to have the trappings of success doesn't inspire confidence now.
