IMHO, it should read bei Muttern ist es am besten = it's best at mother's place. (If you want to Google Translate it, drop the n in Muttern, which is a typical feature of the Berlin dialect.)

IMHO, the implied meaning is something like: maybe I should simply go back to my mother who'd spoil me rotten.

BTW, "bei Muttern" is nowadays mostly used in restaurant advertising slogans, e.g. "Futtern wie bei Muttern" = great home-cooked meals like your mom used to make.
