My advice is get numb to it.
Your parents are not going to change anything at their age. Mine certainly haven't. Your brother doesn't sound like he is in any rush to rectify the situation.
It might be that this is bothering you more than it's bothering any of them.
Here's my little example.
My wife and I built a custom home. As a house warming gift my mother in law wanted to buy us Hunter Douglas blinds for our downstairs family room. I said no way. Wife says sure, so next thing you know we have Hunter Douglas blinds from my mother in law.
Every time, and I mean everytime she walks into our house she says something along the lines of " dear, why don't you open those $4800 blinds I bought you. Honey it's getting dark, why don't you close those $4800 blinds I bought you"
You see where I'm going. I drives me nuts but I now play the over/under on when she will mention the blinds, she bought them, the price. She actually went more than a hour last time she was here
Parents?!
