OP - I would suggest that you and DH get things set up legally so you will be the responsible one for your Mom's health care decisions and in charge of her finances as your brother sounds like one who will show up to do that and end up being quite irresponsible.  Depending on your Mom's finances, see what services there might be such as an adult day care center to get her out of your home a couple of days a week so you can regroup, get ready for and enjoy the new baby and other kids.  Alternatively, also see if there is in-home care available for her and see with her finances what care would most be helpful to your situation and to her and use her finances to fund it.  It sounds like you and DH could use a responsible adult in the home at times so you two could just go out together, too.  You also might want to look into memory units in area senior living places so you know ahead of time what might meet her needs best and if she could afford it - if her care becomes too much for you.  Focus on your Mom here and now, keep a life balance as you can for your family and ignore brother.  But again being sure her legal and financial affairs are in order is key to protect her and her funds for her care.[/quote]
