I believe it would be similar to mom and dad. If you said, my Mom went to the shopping center, you are using the word mom as her name, but if you're referring to who she is... as being a mother, I don't believe you would capitalize it and I think that follows to brother and sisters.

Only when you're using it as a replacement for a name. Like my Mom or my Dad went to. And I don't know if that would follow for what you're using brothers and sisters for.

Just a guess, but I think that is how that works.
