[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she was afraid of mispronouncing the names of Indian food. Maybe she can't see very well to read the menu, or hear well enough to speak on the phone (especially to someone with an Indian accent).[/quote]

But she didn't want op's dh to do the order either. That's the weird controlling bit. [/quote]

Yup.  This reminds me of my little one:  "no daddy, I want MOMMY to wipe me."  Strange controlling behavior for an adult.  OP, I have a controlling father who pulls random crap like this and I get it - lots of people think this is an easy one to let slide, and it is in isolation, but sometimes you just hit your limit with this shit.  I hope the leftovers were yummy :-)[/quote]It wasn't till much later that I figured out that my mom did stuff like this because she was deeply anxious and was hiding it. On the surface, she just seemed controlling and annoying but now that I'm older and deal with my own anxiety I realize that what was driving it was the anxiety that she tried to conceal her whole life.  I don't blame, OP, for drawing a line here, because it's hard to be around this behavior all the time.  Even when people are trying to hide it, it still affects you.[/quote]

I'd be more willing to think this was a case of mom's anxiety if she hadn't insisted that the OP order rather than allowing the OP's DH order.[/quote]
