Reply to comment by mganga_mzungu in how do I(21f) tell my mum why I am not picking up the phone by mganga_mzungu

There's a saying... You can put all the lipstick on a pig that you want but it's still a pig.

I can't think of a way to politely tell your mom that your dad told you you're not welcome because you won't subject yourself to your brother's craptastic behavior. It is what it is.

Ugh... You're right, I feel like I'm just lying to myself thinking there's a way to mediate this

Prepare yourself in advance for "Yes I know, he told me, and I agree with him".

Seems to be a lot of information you're leaving out of this. I really hope your brother every once in a while dropping a rude comment isn't enough for you to bail on your family, so I assume there's hopefully a lot more.

More info would help towards answering your questions.
