He now brought a good second hand bed warmer.

I have known my brother for almost 80 years and I still can´t understand him. Today he brought a wheelbarrow to take out more bags full of garden leaves and came with another second hand bed warmer. Why does he have so many? If he buy a new one why does he keep the old ones? Yesterday he asked me if the bed warmer he gave me warmed my bed and I said it didn´t. So he told me that he´d bring me another. Today he brought me another one. He said that did one was a real Scaldasonno brand. And told me to throw the other to the garbage. I said I´d cut the wires because I did not want anyone to get burned. He then took the plug and said he´d have use for it. I wonder, how many bed warmers does he have? The other day he gave me one of his second hand water filters and then chose between a couple of cellphones which one to give me. I don´t know how many old things he keeps in his house. He invites me once in a while to eat out but his house is out of bounds. Weird. All this has been a sort of "let´s be friends again" after years of almost not talking to me although he lives 2 houses away from mine. Do you have problems with your siblings?

Maybe he is just discovering the good feelings that come from helping out others.

I don´t know why he is so nice as I didn´t know why he was not nice before.

@JudyEv I am keeping my fingers crossed. But I´m not expecting too much.

@marguicha I can imagine you must be at least a bit confused by his current behaviour.

I have no siblings. Perhaps he is trying to be friends with you now in old age,

It sounds like he's making amends after so long. I'm glad for you.

One of my siblings who does have anxiety problems do tend to yell at me and my nephew to get our attention.

But as long as you understand that he does not mean to be nasty, I suppose it is easier to accept it.

Maybe he's a hoarder and that's why he doesn't invite you to his house. I was disowned when I moved out when I was 21 so I haven't seen my brother for over 50 years. Have a good day.

He is a weird person. They have no children so maybe they did not learn early the good part of giving.

I don't have any siblings. I do have two stepbrothers and one stepsister, but I haven't seen or talked to them in a long time.

I almost did not talk at all with my brother for several years. I am almost sure that it was my BILs fault. But now things seem to be mending although I will be cautious.
