I have a brother who is a few years younger than me. We are both in good jobs etc. My mother treats the two of us soo different. Over the years certain things puzzled me - when my wife and i went to parents to stay, i had to lye on floor and wife on bed, whereas brother and GF shares a bed. Also, when i got my first job, my mother insisted that i paid digs of £30 per week, and now my brother and girlfriend are living rent free? My wife and I have been married for 2 and half years and have seen each other 5 years. My mother has only spoken to the wife about 5 times, including the wedding. And within the last year she has only phoned the house 3 times. However i am always the one that phones them. I think if i never contacted them, they wouldnt bother at all. There is a baby on way and i thought my mum would change, she hasnt shown much interest really. Is this just me being the older brother and jealous? or should be mum be more of a parent equally? Should i move on and let her chase?
