AIBU to want to tell her that she is a selfish brat?

I have a mum friend who is getting on my nerves.
Whenever anything needs doing - collecting a takeaway, dry cleaning, ironing, gardening, painting a room, taking and collecting DC from activities etc etc she says dismissively "oh, I'll get DH to do it" or "DH will do that".
I'm starting to think she does nothing but order him around.
I'm half jealous (that he does whatever she wants him to do) and half disgusted with her spoilt ways.
I feel a bit unreasonable to even have an opinion about it because it's their life. So am I ? :) !

Actually, now I think about it, I can think of a couple I used to know where the woman used to talk to the man as you describe.

It started out with her losing respect for him, and got to the point where she'd order him around even when they had other people round Sad

It wasn't very nice to watch (I had to have to chew my lip off to not say anything), and I suppose he was partly to blame for letting her talk to him like shite in front of other people, but still...

Kitty, you misunderstand me (and yourself, perhaps)
You claim not to like her because of how she treats her husband
Whereas it seems to me you just don't like her - and therefore how she treats her husband is a problem for you
Shall we hang the ivy, or each other?

isit
I know I don't like her much and therefore don't tolerate her way of talking about her DH. But If she were my closest friend and I loved everything else about her, I still wouldn't like this.

Agent I think it does come from a lack of respect :(
