We grew up in absolute squalor even though my dad was a doctor and my sister thinks it's probably untreated severe ADHD with my mother, and maybe asperger's with my dad.  the food was always burned and inedible and we were always out of groceries.  my mother would routinely ruin our clothes in the laundry.  We didn't see the doctor.  Everything was always lost and chaotic in the house -- people running around screaming and looking for permission slips, keys, etc.  The idea that every year in Vermont you need an ice scraper to prepare the car before you can drive somewhere, but there was never any designated place for anything.  I have been talking about this with my siblings and we all ended up being really rigid about where things go, we are all the kind of people who are like "It's Tuesday.  Tuesday is the night we have spaghetti."  I think it was a reaction to our bizarre, sad, lonely, neglectful childhood.[/quote]
