Ok I know I'm not but need to rant stupid twunt of a brother has really upset my mum.I've been helping her get her house decorated and garden sorted over the last few months and he's not spoken to her since last year, he turns up ranting and raving about how she thanked dd1 for doing some gardening for her a couple of years ago and said she never does the same for his girls i've been there and know that she treats all her grandchildren equally this from someone who only gives his girls attention when their in the wrong.He then said that I wont be doing all this work for nothing she told him actually I am, next he says he did the garden for 20 years and got nothing so mum asks was you expecting to be paid YES he says[my dad did most of the garden up to about 7 years ago] he cuts the grass about 3 times a year.Last thing he said or rather shouted at her was that he never wanted to ever see her face ever again FFS she's 75 and doesn't deserve this, sil also left a message on her phone begging her not to tell him that she'd been mowing her grass and coming up to see her.He's not spoken to me since last year because I took mum on holiday and she couldn't look after his kids while him and sil worked.
I just want to flatten him now for upsetting her.

WEird man.

He is being a total moron!

I have no idea what you can do about it though. He sounds a bit volatile and a bit scary for a 75 year old woman to deal with.

OMG what is his problem?? Sounds like "stupid twunt" is being a bit kind! He sounds rather selfish and very immature to me.

Why the feck would he be expected to be paid for helping out at your parents' house? Why the feck shouldn't your mum go on holiday with you rather than looking after his kids?

Seriously, I understand your rant and YANBU!

Sounds like my brother only worse. My brother left his cat with our mother (age mid 80s) while his family went on holiday for a fortnight. Mum put her back out with all the bending, and got stressed out getting the cat back in from the garden. At least he didn't rant and rave when I pointed this out, but that was because I did it by email. His response was a resounding silence instead.

Sounds like a jealous child rather than an adult. YADNBU give him hell!

Sounds like you will all be better off without him TBH
