[quote=Anonymous]22:06 PP and want to add that my family’s hang ups around cleanliness were legitimate in their origins so it helps me forgive them. For example, they knew fellow immigrants who had perfectly normal communicable diseases that were blamed on poor hygiene and that was used as an excuse to block immigration or remove children from homes. They had 1-2 outfits and a few possessions that had to last for ages, so keeping a house free of coal dust and rust belt city soot was imperative. Hypercleanliness was their insurance plan and a way to control a sometimes unwelcoming, unforgiving new home.[/quote]
