Mammy's Boy ..

He tries to look strong
Wide smile on his greetin' face
'Mum's not got long'
So, make time for sweetest things

He lives far away
Arms-folding resentment
'How DARE he slink in'
Stealing all their limelight

But ..

That's not his fault,
It's this situation
So frighteningly critical
Try to not whine again

Sisters bash him, causing guilt

He's been living it up, no doubt

Poor little mama's on her way out

Leave him be, try not to SHOUT

I think you're hitting (walloping) a loon, seems unfair so soon.

It's not his fault but it's how things work out very often. You make some good observations in your writing and this one tells the story so well.
