It sounds like she needs help. Maybe she is manic/depressive? Or some other form of mental illness. You should put your foot down and not let your brother walk all over you, on a moment's notice, unless the sign at your door says "Marriott hotel". No means no. If the kid's mom says no gifts, then put the money you would have put towards the presents in a bank account for them. When life does return to normal, the bank books can be given to them to help with whatever they need. good luck!
