Hes probably the one making everyone miserable if hes still living with his parents at 24 with 2 kids and his girlfriend (not wife, girlfriend)
So you couldn't blame Mom if she is making everyone miserable, thats a grandmothers nightmare. No mother says "I want my kids to be like that when they grow up."
Shes under the pressure of having to play the role of Mom for not just him but his kids an GF 24/7. No old lady wants that. She always assumed she would get to be a grandmother.
This is what she envisioned of your brother at his age with 2 kids an a girl. "Oh, when my son grows up, its going to be so wonderful. He will have a decent job and house, have a wife, and two beautiful children that I will be able to spoil when I come over to visit. Me an hubby will be able to take that vacation to Florida every year and bask in the sun and enjoy our retirement money."
Your brothers position in life has effectively shattered her dreams. Now shes jaded, and you can't blame her.
Not passing judgement, its hard times and even in good times things can happen that set you back, but thats just how I think the situation is from her point of view. If your brother can't see & respect that, hes probably in denial or selfish.
