Should I wait for my mum and brother to get in touch

I recently moved house and have not had a call from my mum or brother to see how it went. I also started a new job and I haven’t heard anything from either of them. They are the first to contact me when they want something. I can’t bring myself to call them as angry they can’t be bothered with me. Should I just leave as is and wait for them. I feel like she has made her choice as since my dad died she only has time for my brother. Advice please

Presume they know about the job and the move? If one of them is your next of kin I would send a text

Being the stubborn areshole I can be, I would wait to see how long it took them to contact me! But, being the bigger person you could send a message to say something like, all settled in and the jobs going well - and leave it at that?

I would make no effort to contact them. Sod being the so called bigger person here.
