I was so bad that I had to be medicated when my 12 year old was a baby. I went through a gallon of bleach a day on surface cleaning and toilets and sinks and floors. We went through 3 infant seats because I washed the cover every other day. Then one day i was doing my daily cleaning ritual after breakfast and she asked if we could go to the park and have ice cream. I told her when I was through cleaning and she said never mind well never get to go. I put my mop down and got a hold of myself and realized I wasn't enjoying my child. We went and bought all the things I would cringe at the thought of her playing with ,play doe, finger paints, bubbles and any other messy things. Now I have a 3 year old and Am is 12 and dirt is our friend. LIFE IS GOOD!!

Yes, when my son was little I was obsessed with having everything perfect. But my biggest obsession was with his toys. Before I could go to bed I had to wash every single toy and then count and sort all the lego, duplo, playmobile etc. It often took me up to five hours a night. Eventually I sought help as a friend discovered what I was doing.
I am not cured but I have moved my obsessions to something less harmful. I now clean the fridge every night and sort out the cupboards but I leave the toys alone!
