[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never heard a eulogy for a mother that said "She was the best mom because she kept the place spic and span." [/quote] +1000[/quote] Nope, but being mentally healthy is an important quality for any parent. If you don’t understand that this is anxiety-inducing for some people, then good for you, you aren’t a “neat freak.” You would never tell someone who got anxiety over anything else that their needs need to come last so…what? Their kids can have a million toys out? Most early childhood educators would tell you that’s not healthy anyway. [/quote] We aren’t taking a wasteland of toys here. She said “clutter” gives her an anxiety attack. That is not healthy or normal. Normal, healthy people can tolerate the clutter and general mess of childhood just fine. Healthy people can adapt to their time of live and circumstances just fine. She’s not normal. She should get help for that. [/quote]
