Can you phone your brother during his lunch break or while he is on his way back from work?!
She seems very odd to be honest! As someone else has said, first she’s not speaking to you, then she wont speak to your dad – soon she will be telling your brother to make a choice between her and your family. She seems very much a control freak.0 -
Simple, my brother lives with his girlfriend, if I phone he doesn't answer or does but says he can't talk, our dad phones and it's fine, that's why I don't phone, and I have no interest in phoning her and getting 20 questions fired at me.
Does your brother not have a mobile phone or a work number that you can contact him on?
Alternatively, ring him at home - if he answers fine, if the girlfriend answers just ask to speak to your brother.
If the girlfriend asks you a question, you have 2 options - either answer or don't.0 -
I phone his mobile, that's when he either doesn't answer or says he can't talk. I have no clue what her home number is. He's self employed but not getting a great deal of work at the moment, so he's mostly with her 24/7 right now.0

Just a bit of a left-field thought here, but, is she broody/want a baby of her own?
Her reaction is so extreme, I can't help but wonder of it is a displacement issue, to release her own frustration?It aint over til I've done singing....0 -
Just show her this thread.0

What an odd person! I have a friend who once explained that they used a donor and that was it. He volunteered the information and did explain that when his children are old enough to understand, he'll explain it to them.

Thought I'd update.
My dad ran into brother and girlfriend, he chatted with her and she admitted that she missed coming over. She phoned him a little while ago, we talked, it was awkward (mostly on my part) and they are coming over during the week.0
