I smell a rat... a golden rat...

Take the xmas vibe to her: music, lights, food. (She's probably so bored). Party together!

Then go home alone.

Chuckle... it's fine if she comes to your house "till after the holidays," is it?

Yeah right. I'll bet that's absolutely dandy with bro. No worries. And no hurry with his search for the ideal 24 hour care home, either... Perfect!

Smile sweetly and say that you wouldn't want to put mother through the upheaval and discomfort of two moves. Much better to wait until he's found her a permanent placement and then you'll be happy to help.

If the pressure continues, make your smile gradually less sweet until they finally understand the word "no." Take her a nice present for Christmas but don't let her over your threshold.

Listen to your gut, don't do it! You may very well end up having her permanently. Leave any breaking out to the golden child. If you were to take her out, that could very well have legal implications for you.
