[quote=Anonymous]Total neat-freak mom. My mom was always cleaning and putting things away. If she couldn't smell bleach, it wasn't clean. And she worked full-time, too. I think she felt powerless about a lot of things in her life, and keeping a super clean home was her way of exerting control over something. It was far from a healthy dynamic. My brother and I both had weekly chores and helped out, but we never did a good enough job in her eyes. My dad did absolutely nothing to help around the house. As a young adult, I was a bit obsessive about my living space (and probably a bit of an unbearable roommate), but I learned to relax. My brother and I now have very similar houses - clean overall, but cluttered in places. I'm definitely teaching my kids to pick up after themselves and how to clean, but I don't obsess over it.[/quote]
