I am happy that you are happy, my mother sounds the same as you and is now encouraging the kids in the family to go with her on sundays!
The "ulterior motive" as you describe it is simply that your mother would like you and your children to embrace the faith that she has because it is a great way to live (though not necessarily an easy or pain-free one). Certainly not “gun to the head” or “pie in the sky when you die” religion I would imagine – the choice is yours to accept or reject at the end of the day!

The Christians I see portrayed in the media or TV are nothing like the Christians I know. The latter are among the most selfless, compassionate, caring people you would ever meet, they show the love of Jesus but they also know that they will never be perfect!
