[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm like you, only not as bad. I feed my kids local organic farm food, and make my own hummus, with some junk food on the side. My kid has counseling once a week, but it's not a top notch shrink and I don't have to drive to get there. I get irritated when the house gets messed up after I just cleaned it. Some days it's a mess, yet I'm the cleanest person I know. I think there are worse ways to be. Being a perfectionist is hard both on the kids and the parents, but I think our kids will grow up to be decent people. If you have two kids, stop there. Talk therapy may just reinforce it. You could try being messy on purpose. Rub jam all over your hands and let it sit. Spill something on the floor and don't pick it up right away. There is a Japanese concept of wabi sabi or of Native American "spirit beads" where it's okay to have something be imperfect.[/quote]
