I share a bathroom with my sister. we both have long hair and it constantly sheds and gets on the floor. she and i both clean up all the hair after showering or brushing our hair. but it is to no avail with mom who goes in there with a magnifying glass *sarcasm* and finds one little hair and starts ranting on about how we NEVER clean up properly. it is by far the most annoying trait she has. how can we deal with it?

If that is the only thing that bothers you about your Mom just make sure it is clean enough to suit her. It is so trivial.

My parents weren't really neat freaks at all. They kept the house clean, but clutter galore and nothing was ever put away after use really, so stuff ended up randomly scattered around. They were roommates at school as kids and have never really stopped living like they were in a dorm, LOL. Even now, there's trunks of stuff everywhere, boxes, random artefacts and books collected over the years all over their house. I like it that way, it feels lived in, like home instead of like a cold, sterile trophy-house. I, on the other hand, was completely anal about neatness, cleanliness, order, everything having a place, et cetera, when I was a teenager. I was wound so tight that I was like Kate Gosselin, only 10 times worse. It was BAD. I think I freaked my parents out with it, they thought my room was creepy because it was so clean and in such obsessive order for a few years. Now as an adult, I'm much more relaxed, and my house is a lot like my parents'. I don't worry about order or labelling or organization any more. It's a huge time-waster and I don't want my kids growing up stressed out because mom is high-strung and a perfectionist. Things are clean and the only place dirty feet are allowed is the entry outside, but other than that, I don't care about organization, extreme sterilization of everything or things being "just-so" any more. My kids, baby aside, are both pretty relaxed too, though not messy, per se. I don't make them put specific things back in their "special place," just keep as much as they can off the floor so no one trips.
