But when put to the test, it turns out that he doesn’t know much about them either. Find out what happened when the family gathered and this brother was quizzed on his own children’s favorite toys, allergies, and TV shows.

Is he really a better parent?

In divorce, it is common for one parent to accuse the other of being an unfit parent. However, in some cases, these accusations can be exaggerated or false. Such is the case of the Reddit user whose brother constantly accuses his ex-wife of being a bad mom. The brother claims that his ex doesn’t know anything about the kids and doesn’t deserve custody.

However, the user believes that his brother is exaggerating and that his examples are just moments of absent-mindedness. To prove his point, the user quizzed his brother on basic information about the kids, but he didn’t do very well. The user believes that if his brother is going to make such serious accusations, he should be prepared to demonstrate that he actually knows things about his own children.
