'got stuck with' in this context means having no choice but to live or be with that person (unable to get the person to leave / move away).

'with the likes of' means with people (or objects) similar to the one specified. In this context, it is similar to saying 'with someone like you'.

The effective meaning is this:

A: My mom says you should not feed the strays (animals with no owners). She says that they will just keep coming back (for more food).

B: Is that right? Is that why you are so dependent on your mom? (your mom still has to care for you because you are like a stray animal that kept getting fed)

(It is basically a commentary about how the person is so dependent on their mom and his/her mom has to always be with or care for the person like a stray animal always coming back for food).

it means that's how they got stuck with somebody like you. it's meant very negatively, (but can be a joke in this context).

"The likes of" means "someone like" or "something like." "Stuck with" just means that you can't get rid of or get away from it.

So here the person is saying, "Oh, were you a stray and then your momma fed you and you kept coming back so now she can't get away from you?"

For me everyone deserves to be featured as the best answer but I'll have to choose the second response even though everyone did an excellent job explaining the phrase in question. If you don't mind me asking another question, this phrase "the likes of someone" is some sort of slang or is it very common to hear in conversation? can you give me another examples where I can use it, please?
