It's becoming a real problem with my family- my mum has a complete inability to make decisions; she's been this way ever since I was a kid, but has gotten much worse in later years.
We need to get out house painted -badly- and she's been putting a lot of time into preparation, even consulting friends and interior designers. It's been like this for five whole years, but we never actually get anywhere because she simply can't decide on the colours! She'd whittled it down to two different shade of orange, but then she just gave up. I'm becoming really stressed out, because not only is this extremely frustrating, but it's putting an enormous strain on the family; Dad's threatening to move to Thailand (we live in Australia).
I've tried to talk it over with Mum, but whenever I do, she just goes beserk, and is never willing to listen to me. *Groan.
Any adive would be helpful, I'm desperate at this point.

Listen to the song 'Mother of mine' together with your family. Then give her more responsibility for some time, say one month. I am sure things ought to change.
The song is: ( Try limewire.com to download it from)
Mother of mine, you gave to me / All of my life, to do as I please / I owe everything, I have to you / Mother, sweet mother of mine.
Mother of mine, when I was young/ You showed me the way, things have to be done / Without your love, where would I be / Mother, sweet mother of mine.
Mother, you gave me happiness / Much more than words can say / I pray the Lord that He may bless you / Every night and every day.
Mother of mine, now I have grown / And can walk straight, all of my own / I'd like to give you what you gave to me / Mother, sweet mother of mine.
So my favourite quote is: Equate Mother Earth with your Mother and serve both with equal honesty.
Your mother needs your love and affection in full. Balanced attention from all the family members including your Dad may be the only thing she expects now. And it is now or never.
Please try my friend. Don't leave her now she will become worse and finally you may have to repent your life thro'. Let the point of no return does not happen in your as well her life.
God will be by your side, believe it.

Your dad's being a passive-aggressive little girl. He should just buy some paint and get if done.
