I tell them because if I just stuck to "I'm fine. Just busy", periodically the father throws a tantrum yelling that his children don't talk to him and cuts off the internet. And he'll yell that I'm always in my room with my door locked.
He's lonely and acts out after a period of increasing tension. My sister bugs me to validate his emotional needs but doesn't live with us lol. When I suggested she go talk to him, she was like "are you kidding me?"
Once I told T how I listened to the father self aggrandizing and monologuing for 3 hours. She praised me and I got upset... I'm weird.
The brother follows me when he wants conversation with me. I generally avoid him or keep talk very short. He creeps me out. I've been wary of him since very young.

Hugs... My dad used to do that too. He spent hours walking up and down in front of my brothers and mine closed door, complaining about how awful we are to him, that he hasn't done anything wrong and that we're supposed to talk with him more. He cut off the internet periodically too, which was always the worst for me, as the internet was the only place I felt able to communicate with people (not about MI, but about things in genereal). I'm so glad I don't have to see him more often now. He managed to visit me once since I've moved out, and that only for 30minutes. I once realised that the best way to argue with him was just to sit there quietly and agree to everything he says.
I'm sorry you have to go through this
I don't think it's your job to meet your dads needs though... It would be his job to meet yours.
Your brother sure as hell sounds creepy... Is he holder or younger than you are? If I might ask
