I understand pretty much all of that. I'm just trying to navigate this. My dad wasn't this way after he retired and I'm not trying to imply any difference between men and women. But that was likely because me and my uncle (RIP) remodeled the whole house before he retired so nothing much to ask for.Welcome to elder hell Kurosexi. I know that is uncharitable of me to say but that's what it feels like sometimes. My mom ends every visit with "when are you coming back?" this is usually followed by a call before I am even home asking me to help with things. If I didn't have a full on life I would back a bag and just move in, I know she is feeling very vulnerable and lonely. Not sure if this is what's happening with your mom or not but it does explain a lot.
If she's just lonely, I can understand that. That's not something I can fix. It's not a feasible solution to have your son live with you and have him do work around the house. She does have friends in her neighborhood I did meet. Wonderful people. It's a 55+ community so they're a welcoming community to help anyone. I was very surprised meeting them because they don't often meet "younger" people.
I know too many people of all ages and gender that it's not fair to make a judgement based just on that.
I understand when you're parents get older, it is a good thing if their children can help them. I have no problems with that. But I still need to keep things moving to like... you know... paying bills and stuff.
In hindsight, I might think differently thinking about the time spent with my parents. But right now, I feel like talk to your other son. He won't change but hope maybe he can calm it down for a little bit. That would take a load off my shoulders but I know that percentage of that happening is around 0%
