First time poster on this sub, have mercy. This happened about 5 or 6 days ago and is still bothering me, therefore I'm posting this. This post is a little long, sorry about that!

A little background that will become important later. I am 17 years old and my parents have been divorced for about 10 years now, separated for more. My dad took all 4 kids because my mom had a gambling addiction and couldn't support us. She doesn't call us to see how we're doing normally, and if she does, it's because she needs something. She'll ask simple questions, like "Have you eaten yet?" and then repeat those questions during the same call because she doesn't really listen/care about what we say.

&amp;#x200B;

On the day these phone calls happened, I was driving to a city about 30 minutes away from where I live. I was running some errands for my uncle (I'll refer to him as uncle 2) and a friend wanted to go eat in that city. Sure no problem, right? I receive a phone call from my mom while I'm driving to that city. These calls are translated from another language, so they might not be exactly correct.

11 AM

Me: Hello?

Mom: What are you doing right now?  
Me: Driving to \[city\].

Mom: Do you have uncle 1's number?

Me: He doesn't have a number, but I'll give you his daughters number when she's out of school.

Mom: Oh okay, let me know if you stop by their house \[30 minutes away from the city I'm driving to\] and give me her number.

&amp;#x200B;

Simple reply of okay and I have to hang up now, I'm driving. I thought all was well and I would just text her my cousin's number at 3 PM when she gets out of school. I reach the restaurant that my friend wanted to eat at and we get seated. I receive another phone call from my mother.

12-12:30 PM

Me: Yes, hello?

Mom: What are you doing right now?

Me: I'm out eating.

Mom: Are you at uncle 2's business? If you are, tell uncle 2 to give me uncle 1's number.

Me: Mom, I already said uncle 1 doesn't have a number and I'll give you his daughter's number when she's out of school.

Mom: Okay, let me know if you stop by uncle 2's business so I can ask for uncle 1's number.

&amp;#x200B;

Simple reply of okay and I hang up. Now this is where the background information comes into play. I already told her it is literally impossible to contact uncle 1 right now. She has to wait until 3 PM when my cousin gets out of school. But as usual, she doesn't listen to what I say until she gets what she needs. So at this point, I'm a little agitated because my mom keeps asking for me to do the impossible but nothing out of the ordinary. About 10-20 minutes go by, and we get our appetizers. In the middle of eating the appetizer, I receive another phone call from my mom. Note: There were people that sat directly behind us and I didn't want to them nor my friend by being on the phone.

12:30-1 PM

Me: Yes?

Mom: What are you doing right now?

Me: I'm eating.

Mom: Do you have uncle 1's number? I need to talk to him.

Me: I'm eating right now, can I give it to you later?

Mom: Okay, \[asks about father's personal business, that he specifically told me not to tell my mom\]?

Me: I slipped up here and told her.

Mom: Good, do you have uncle 1's number?

Now at this point, I'm really annoyed. There are people behind me trying to have a nice conversation. My friend is sitting in silence while waiting for me to finish the phone call. I can't eat because I'm on the phone.

Me: Mom, I already told you! You physically cannot contact him until his daughter gets home! Why do you even need to know his number?

My mom blows up and says something along these lines.

Mom: MY BUSINESS IS MY BUSINESS! YOU'VE ONLY GROWN SO MUCH AND NOW YOU'RE SO RUDE! WHY DO I NEED TO TELL YOU MY BUSINESS? I'M JUST TRYING TO CALL UNCLE 1 AND TALK TO HIM! "WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND" WHEN YOU GET MARRIED AND YOUR WIFE ASKS YOU ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS, YOU'LL SEE. KARMA WILL GET YOU!

  
I just sat there shocked because I didn't expect that reply. I normally don't ask about my parent's business because it's not my place to do so. But my mom usually starts drama in my dad's side of the family, so I wanted to make sure this wasn't the case seeing as she desperately wanted to talk to uncle 1. I say okay bye, and I hang up. I thought she was being hypocritical because she asked what I was doing and about my father's business but she said I was rude and was never taught manners.

  
So AITA for asking my mom about her business?
