[quote=Anonymous]My OCD MIL has spent every meal we've eaten in her house running around the table moving people's cups, utencils and food back onto their tiny placemats and yelling at us about how we must hate her because we are ruining her $10,000 wood table by having a cup rest on it.  Jeez, woman!  Let us use a tablecloth!  But no, she wants us all to see the wood on this ridiculously expensive table, so we must use her tiny placemats, despite the fact that there are kids between the ages of 4 and 9 at every meal.  So we've gone out for lunch and dinner after Thursday to avoid this craziness.  The only reason we can't leave for breakfast, though, is that due to the OCD, it takes her 3 hours to get ready in the morning and she would not turn off the alarm to let us out before she was ready.  So we're basically captives until she is ready.

Here's the kicker - I try to have compassion for her since OCD is an illness.  She used to see a therapist, but this weekend she told me that she doesn't view herself as having any issues anymore.  She's just "clean" and the rest of us are "dirty."  Looks like it's only going to get worse from here.[/quote]
