my mom and i have a very special relationship. so, i can't just NOT tell her things. But, I'm tired of her having to say something bad about everybody. She can't stand my boyfriend and he really likes her and her reasons are really silly, like she doesn't like the way his father drives or something. What should I do?

Ask her why she can't stand your boyfriend exactly, on a more serious level. Ask her to give you one good, serious, reason as to why she doesn't like him, and let her know he likes her and has no problem with her at all.
If you two have the special relationship you say you do, then I'm sure she'll understand and respect your wishes and stop saying something bad about everybody.
