Why would he say "mother's girls" in this context? Is it sarcasm?

It's similar to sarcasm! He says "mother's girls" as a way to tease her here. "Mother's girls" refers to the daughters, including her, of her mother. The phrase implies that there should be a likeness or similarity between her mother and her mother's daughters. Ex: She's daddy's girl because she sings all the time. => implies that the dad likes to sing, too. Ex: I find it strange that one of your mother's girls decided to move countries. She's not like your mother at all.
