[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 438519, member: 1233"] Seems to me it is a bit of everything. One thing rolls into another into another and it builds up into a snowball. Not sure what you can do about it, other than to not let her bully you over keeping the place immaculate. My gfgbro has NEVER been happy with anything I have done because I am not totally immaculate and neither is my home. I cannot tell you how many jobs he lost because he couldn't be there on time and missed entire days (or weeks) because he had to clean something. But gfgbro literally cannot relax or sleep if his house is in the tiniest bit of disarray. It is scarily neat to me. Last time he came to OK for the holidays and ended up at my parents for months, my mom had to go and pay first month's rent on a place around the corner because she would pour a cup of coffee and then go to get a book or use the john and she would come out and her cup would be washed and he was lecturing her about leaving her cup sitting around!! If she left it for 2-3 MINUTES he did this, not hours or days. MINUTES. He literally cannot function if there is a mess. Not on any level. WHen his female dog has gone into heat he freaks totally - won't pay for diapers for her and cannot cope with the signs of being in heat all over. At one point he was on his hands and knees washing the signs of it off the GRAVEL in his driveway. Not using a hose, or even pouring soapy water on it - hands and knees scrubbing gravel. To be honest it frightened me because it was just so strange and obsessive. But he needs it to all be just perfect in order to cope. Luckily he has found a way to handle things. He just cannot live with anyone but his daughter who could be trained to do it his way. Would Ms. KT be open to a medication tweak to help her cope with everything? All the changes would be hard for her to cope iwth. If you run out of things for her to clean, ship her here. We could keep her occupied for a month or more! [/QUOTE]
