Both. They worked for me on the sugar cane farm. We were waiting for the truck to come to pick up a load of harvested cane and all hell broke loose.

I think he just simps for them. "Sugarcane farmers are feeding america"!! whatever would we do without dirt cheap sugar in our diets?
Actually he is pretty spot on with his assessments. I was a sugarcane farmer and can vouch for everything he said. Sugar is cheaply priced commodity and get very little help from the government. The price per pound of sugar doesn’t make a huge profit especially if land is leased. Price of equipment, chemicals, fuel, maintenance and labor are very costly when looking at the bottom line.

The NFL game murders made me think about it. A place I worked, had two brothers argue about the price of scrap iron and one pulled a gun on the other because of it.

Why does that matter? We were told the 2020 election was the most secure as well as the vaccine was needed to stop the spread.

So the judge denying for factual evidence to be used is interfering with an election?

You left one thing out: point out factual info = racist

re: Has anyone dealt with a sibling treating their own mother like shite due to their spouse?
Posted by shoelessjoe on 12/21/25 at 8:45 pm to 87PurpleandGold
It’s very hurtful. Especially when my mother took care of her when she would get in arguments with her parents and would stay at her house with my brother. It wasn’t until they had children and she created a wall around her and children. Not allowing my mom to connect with them. Not sure if it’s because my parents could do for her children and her parents couldn’t and she resented that or something else than nobody has a clue of. Truth is she has done some unimaginable things to my mom and my brother enables it to continue and for that he is just as much at fault. Either way he will have to deal with the hurt when she passes.

The onus is on your brother. You have to let go and cut off ties unless it’s just 1:1 without his wife included. Some people marry very shitty people and wont leave.
My wife and I have done this long ago. My mom needs to do the same and let him deal with the guilt when she does pass, hopefully years from now.

This alone tells me the issue is not just your brother's spouse. Your brother is part of the problem if not all of it.
I can sum it up a little. My brothers wife is the start of the problem. His enabling the problem to continue, has caused him to be the part of the problem to continue. This is where I was a year ago. Had to put up boundaries to keep myself sane and from driving to his house and choking him. Now him being involved has caused him to be ok with how things are as long as he doesn’t have to confront his wife. Like I said my problem is my mothers feelings and that she knows that she does matter regardless of him and his enabling or her feelings.

I said not afraid to talk about it. He is afraid to talk to his wife about it. Thought you were meaning if he was afraid to talk to me about it. We aren’t talking any longer since the shite that has happened in the last year.

No, he hasn’t cut mom off. Just refuses to acknowledge her at all. I stopped all communication from him when he refused to man up and see what was happening with my mom’s feelings. To not come to see my mom for her birthday or Mother’s Day but tell her to stop to come get your gift, when you are not welcomed, wax the last straw for me with him. Never texts her never calls her. Mom texts and mom calls.

But best thing you can do it support your mom in letting her know she has zero rights to be involved in his family’s life.
I think she knows that already. The issue is when “invited” she is made to feel uninvited as he won’t speak to her, his wife definitely has an attitude towards her and doesn’t speak to her. She does go to see her grandkids. Then leaves upset because things never will change but keeps going to eat shite. It’s mentally draining and just wish she had the strength to tell them no.
