[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was worried your DH will not order what she wants.  You said she likes what she likes and probably knows your DH may not pay close attention to what she said she wants or he doesn't know and that may have happened before.  My mom likes what she likes and heaven help us if somebody gets her order wrong.  Men are known for not ordering exactly as told and they don't want to pay attention to what you are saying, like I don't want onions, but DH thinks it is too much trouble to tell no onions, no mushrooms, and I have no problem with it. The not paying was a bit weird, but maybe because she knew your DH would get it wrong and then she would be paying for something she doesn't want.  Same for her, she is probably not sure what it is that she likes as you were the one who introduced her to Indian food and know what she likes.  [b]I don't let my DH order food either, kids and I are very picky and he always screws it up, always.  Not maliciously, just doesn't pay attention.[/b]  It is the same with all the men in my family.[/quote]

+1. This is true for my DH, too. Easier to just order myself. [/quote]

Don't project your incompetent husbands onto other people. OP has said hers was capable of doing this elementary school task. [/quote]
Wow, your husband must be counting his blessing each and every minute he spends with you.  God help him if he does order something wrong. Clearly in your marriage, he is the Stepford wife! You are clearly miserable and abusive wife to your DH. Oh, wait, I bet you don't have a husband...anymore. Or you are a beard wife.[/quote]

NP.  Your husband does sound incompetent and useless.  Sorry, but who can't handle a takeout order?  Don't be pissed at the other poster that you married a loser.[/quote]

I am sorry to inform all of you women with "competent husbands" that you didn't marry real men.  You married some metrosexual versions of men. Real man don't care about getting the take out right, they don't care about small details such as which juice is the exact right kind and which is not "right." You married Chevy Chase pale, can't BBQ men, can't fix electrical men, can' cut a tree men, can't fix a car or do anything physically demanding. You are also clueless about real marriage if you take pride in the fact that "your man" can get the order right. You also are pointing out that you can't cook so he has to get it right, and he can't cook because plenty of real men can cook. You are also pointing out that you and your DH are very young and have no real life experience if competency comes with ordering food right.  Have a great time with your husbands who can order the food right, I'll take mine high earner and can fix anything useless guy, who screws up the take out order any day.[/quote]

Auntie, time for bed. You've had too much white Zin. [/quote]

Wow, this went off the rails fast.  What the hell?  [/quote]

What the hell is exactly right.  I pointed out the truth, that many men, including my husband can't order food for me and my picky kids right, and got attacked and had people call him incompetent and useless. I don't see a correlation between useless and messing up the take away unless you are a college student who orders food non stop.[/quote]

My husband can cook out and fix electrical, he chopped up a dead tree that fell down in his mom's yard this weekend, does basic repairs on our cars, earns a high six figures and still manages to get the take-out order right. He even remembers to order extra baby corn for the kids with their chinese, which I never remember to do. Since this seems to be the score-keeping part of the thread, I guess I win.[/quote]

NP here. No, I win.  My husband rips through tree limbs with his bare hands.  And yet he can't even chew food for himself- I have to do it for him, and then slowly regurgitate it into his mouth like a bird with her babies.  And you know what?  That makes him a REAL MAN.  Incompetence is what makes a TRUE ALPHA.  Which is why he also wears adult diapers.  Because only a loser beta male knows how to use modern plumbing.   [/quote]
