My brother's been growing pot in the basement for some time now. My mom has known about it for months and kept yelling at him to get rid of it, threatening to destroy the pot, but not once ever actually punishing him, even though I get grounded for things like getting a C in one of my classes.

This isn't the first time this has happened, about a year ago my brother was growing pot and my mom ended up destroying the ~10 plants he had after yelling at him about it for 2 months. Note she still never actually punished him besides destroying the pot.

Finally, one day, my mom has an epiphany and decides to get rid of the damn pot he's been growing (about 20 full grown plants, and a dozen or so seedlings). She calls him when he's out with his friends and tells him that if he doesn't come home right away she's going to destroy all of the pot, he says something along the lines of fuck you and hangs up on her.

So she tells me to go to the basement and bring all the plants up so she can destroy them. So I do, and since she said she was destroying them I didn't carry them very carefully and the stem broke on one of the plants. Before she actually does anything with all the pot my brother gets home and starts bitching, get this, not because of her, but because of the plant I broke. My mom then proceeds to take money out of my college savings to pay for the damaged pot plant, arguing that she never told me she was doing to destroy the pot (I also got grounded for lying when I said she did tell both me and my brother she was going to destroy the pot), when not only did she use the word destroy several times, but she destroyed his pot last time he was growing some a year ago.

She's NEVER made him pay for anything of mine he's broken. He broke my window (with a hockey puck), my door (because I locked him out of my room when he was trying to harass me and he broke in using a crowbar and sledgehammer), my playstation 2 (trying to mod it, when I told him not to), and my gamecube (when he got high and took it apart). He even took $40 that I had left in my pants in the laundry, and when I asked him about it he said he left it on the table in his room and his friend must have stolen it, which apparently means he doesn't have to pay me back.
