[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moderately clean house, with occasional clutter or a mess if we'd been busy and hadn't put our usual level of cleaning in.  Am same as an adult.

DH grew up with neatnik parents who never put anything out of place and whose place was always spotless.  I cannot for the life of me fathom how such a messy adult came out of such a home.  DH is the kind of person who comes in and drops things wherever he happens to be -- clothes, shoes, bags, keys.  His office, where I never go in, looks like it's been ransacked.  I don't think it's rebellion from such a neat home; he professes to want a clean space but seems clueless as to how mess accrues.  I think it's because his mom was such a neatfreak that she swooped in everytime he dropped something and put it away.  If you are neat, teach your kids to pick up after themselves, folks![/quote]

I posted above (hoarder home and super organized myself) and alas this is my problem with my kid - I often have no patience to wait/enforce his cleaning up; I do try to when I have the energy...[/quote]
