[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP, this all sounds dysfunctional.
I would guess your brother criticizes your actions so he can have a leg up on you with mom. And mom wants to be close to your brother, since he clearly isn't, and so initiates and or is willing to engage in these conversations which give some  pseudo intimacy because they're in cahoots against you

I don't know if it helps but deep down, your mother knows you're the reliable one. However I agree with others-she doesn't respect the relationship she has with you. She takes you for granted. Everything you do is expected. She is also seems weak - still trying to win son's affections, doesn't seem to call him out for the infrequent visits etc.

Caring for aging parents is a major major PITA. It will not be gratifying. If you are looking for respect from your mom, it will not be coming. You can still decide to be the caregiver, but understand it will come with no appreciation and you will probably always been seen as a door mat.

Decide if you have the emotional energy and finances to support your aging parents or not. Do not feel obligated. Choose whether you want to take on this thankless role or not. [/quote]
