Re: Welcome to grown-up life, Darlin'
hmmmm...I thought you had me right at the beginning...but not so sure...perfectionist yes, driven by obsessive compulsions, absolutely. But I don't think that anyone should have to go to work sixty hours a week, chemo treatment five hours a week, and then pick up after a bunch of slobs that are capable of doing themselves. I am under the weather and still manage with stage 2 cancer to care for all of them, clean up all their messes, run all their lives, care for a horse , a goat, a lizard, a cat, and 30 acres of property while hubby collects unemployment to sit on his duff. Oh and did I fail to mention that my sixty hour a week career is taking care of Hospice patients....So hey I am this giant caregiver...is it really too much to ask that someone lighten my load, yeah i think not!!!!

Welcome to grown-up life, Darlin'
Antigen,
It sounds as though you are primarily a perfectionist, with tinges of OCD, around the edges. I call this "Monk's Disease." I can identify! In my case however, I suspect that instead of being like this myself, I think that I would prefer that the people in my life had this malady. Until, that is, it actually HAPPENS! They'll really drive you CRAZY! I guess that I was born to be a hermit, one with a really big support staff of subserviant (quiet) helpers that compulsively follow me around cleaning up my messes without moving any of the stuff, that I put somewhere, intending to find it there, when I get around to finishing what I was doing with it! My motto, is usually "Procrastinate NOW!" SIGH! I'll never be happy!
