Family

Every single holiday, literally every single one, we have to go through the whole song and dance of my brother talking about how he doesn't want to come and he hates holidays and why can't he stay home. And honestly we'd all be fine with him staying home, but he lives with our elderly parents and literally lives there to help out with things like driving them to family get togethers. He lives there rent free, doesn't have to pay for food or anything, all he has to do is drive our parents to appointments (which we just found out he isn't doing) and family get togethers like twice a year. On top of it just being lazy and annoying, it sucks to have him vent about how much seeing us is a drag and how much he hates coming to see us.

I know it's just his massive amounts of anxiety speaking, but it sucks and really ruins my mood whenever this shit starts. I woke up this morning to a series of texts about how he doesn't want to come and could I drive out to pick up our parents. Horrible frustrating way to wake up. I managed not to reply with the first ten texts I wrote and just wrote back that if he wants to drive them here and turn around and go home and then drive back some time after Christmas to pick them up then that is fine, but I'm not doing it. Sure, it's fine for him to expect me to make a 4 hour drive (2 there, 2 back) in a day so he can avoid seeing us but for some reason that was too much to ask of him.

That sounds annoying as hell, OP. My guess is your brother feels some sense of shame about being a freeloader still living with his parents, but damn, this is not the way to handle it. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

Sorry op but on the other hand if he IS caring for your parents maybe he thinks I am doing my part for them 363/365 days so can’t they pick them up twice if these meetings are so important to them and I also get his side of things.

No. Part of caring for them is bringing them to functions the parents want to go to.

If his main job is to drive his parents and he's not doing that, then clearly he's NOT "doing [his] part for them 363/365 days" like you said. So basically, what you said doesn't apply here at all.
