And here we go again

I'm at the cottage visiting my dad again, and while there have been no arguments (so far) I did just have to call Mom out on something she did, and as usual, she didn't like it. There was a hanging basket over at my sister's cottage that Mom wanted to bring over here to this one. As Mom was telling me about it, Dad said that he wanted to go over and get it. Mom immediately jumped in and said that she was gonna go, and there was no room for argument. I told her to let Dad do it if that was something he wanted to do.She said he was too tired to go. My response was: "How do you know dad's too tired? Are you in his body? I don't think so."

It really irks me when someone claims to know what is best for someone else when that someone is still perfectly capable of judging what he/she is able to do.
