I have guests, well not really guests, it's my

daughter, her husband and my 2 granddaughters staying with me over the holidays and I really love having them here, but I find myself getting a bit irritated when things are "cluttered" or not where they normally are..... confused Never thought of myself as obsessive compulsive, maybe just set in my ways.....

I have a certain way I do things and a certain place I put things and a certain order to my daily routine...This got me to thinking....I wonder if I've been on my own for too long....I wonder if I would be ok with sharing my "space" with someone else? Is this (our daily habits) something that's easily given up when we find our "The One" or will it be difficult?

Hmmmmmm, I wonder....... dunno

Hi lgs!
I`m the same and ask myself the same question many of times. Maybe yes, we live alone too long ...... but hope will change when we find those "The one", as you call him.

Wish you Happy and Funny New Year!
spd.. wave Glad you stopped by!

I'm glad I'm not the only one.I was starting to wonder.. laugh I don't get mad, really, I just find myself going behind everybody putting things where they "belong" and "straightening" everything... giggle
lets hope they dont use your tooth brush to clean the loo ...wave
V.... laugh laugh who would do that??? confused
u can start taking melatonin and it will curb that OCD behavior...lol....doh laugh
Calli...I'm not convinced it's OCD...I just don't like clutter and I DO like knowing where things are.... dunno
OCD, I used to be just like that.Only I would mow my lawn every three days in a criss cross pattern, wash all five cars every three days...never was there 'Clutter" anywhere. My kids would help after school before I came home from Electrician work or there was NO dinner....lol.
yes its that feeling that they dont respect you or your space or who you are , thats getting to you .....or why else would they re-organise your house .....time to lay down the law wave
Calli...OK, you did have issues.... laugh I mow my yard when I think the neighbors are ready to have an intervention...My car gets wash mostly, when it rains... laugh but my towls have to be separated (sizes), tri-folded and the milk in the fridge has to be on the top shelf, left hand side.... professor laugh
V...They're not reorganizing it, and they really try to put things away...just not where and how I'd prefer it... laugh laugh Nothing deliberate or mean natured.....
just like when people retire and hubbie rearranges the kitchen cupboards , and the wife dumps evey thing in the garrage and moves out ..... wave
