WIHBU to reach across the table and slap her?

[Numtum]

Well not literally her but the knife and fork...

Cooked dinner for an ex colleague and his wife and when I put the food down she picked up HIS knife and fork and cut up his food.

He has no physical problems which would stop him being able to do it his damn self. I've seen him a million times cut up and eat his food.

What the actual fuck did I just witness?! He's 41! I would ask if IABU but quite honestly I simply wouldn't accept such a statement.

I'm

My friend and her DH are in their 60s. She's always been a bit 'mother hen' but I really didn't know what to do when, in the middle of the airport, she licked her fingers and tried to flatten down some wisps of his hair.

Wtf?! any sane person would know this is batshit odd behavior, and would explain...oh, don't mind me,dh had a monumental wanking marathon last night, and can now not use his cutlery...or something.

dp and I play a game when we are out with friends.

we dare each other to do something over the course of the evening. eg. he dared me to walk the length of the pub but instead of walking, do lunges. ..it was for our own personal amusement.

could this have been similar?

otherwise it's a territory marking thing. you uave cooked her dh a meal, she will be damned if she doesn't get a look in

Ask! Ask!!

My late exMIL used to remove bones from BIL fish.

At the time he was a man in his 50s, absolutely no physical or mental disabilities and in a successful career. Made me shudder tbh.

I have however, on numerous occasions just managed to bite back the words 'love you lots' when ending phone calls with complete strangers, as this is the way my daughters and I always end our phone calls and it's become a bit automatic - we speak on the phone a lot. I fear one day I will slip up.

However, if friend doesn't have children that's pretty weird.

I'm hoping you are asking.

Have you asked yet?

This is the future for my friends son. He's ten years old and she still cuts every morsel on his plate into toddler bite size pieces. Then again she is very pfb.

I seriously hope you've asked.

You know we're waiting for the answer.

I need to know why they did this! I'm hoping it was for a bet

Numtum Have u asked yet? I can't wait to find out why she did it!

Place marking - I need to know!

I shouted at my D'h the other day 'YELLOW CAR!' He just scowled at me

It's a game me and dds play when we are bored in the car.

Yellow car, green car, pink car gets a Brucie bonus

As you were...

This is slightly reminding me of the thread where a woman was asking if it was weird that her mil still washed her ds's hair. Her grown-up ds, at the kitchen sink!

Ok sorry, I posted whilst tidying up and getting desert ready hiding out in the kitchen

I didn't ask, I couldn't bring myself to but... BF did after desert

Apparently "aw schnookims (or something equally as sickening) like being looked after well. I must be a horrible girlfriend cause I'd rather jab my eye with a fork and feed that to my boyfriend than cut us his food like I do DDs! I half expected her to chum him to the toilet when he went.

They left with a promise of an invite to their house, I'm almost scared to accept if it's forthcoming

Sorry for spelling/grammar errors...

That's just wrong on so many levels.

How the hell do you start doing something like that and what sort of man, or woman come to that, would just sit there and let their dp get on with it.

Just wouldn't occur to me to cut up another adult's food. Weird.

No, you HAVE to go to theirs and soon! Then give us more updates. Your thread has made me chuckle

Oh BF asked and she does it in the kitchen before the food is served. It's only outside the home she does it at the table.

Now I think about it I won't hold my breath for that invite

I hope the don't go to restaurants often.

Bloody hell my spelling is awful after a couple of glasses

I take back all charitable thoughts about hand injuries. You should have slapped her, and then you should have slapped him. Harder.

Did she lift and lower his jaw with her hand to save him from having to chew independantly too?
