Maybe...

Quote From: afraid

maybe the children will hate clutter and filth after having to live in it with there mother for so many years, i bet they will keep a house clean enough to perform open heart sergury on the kitchen table if they had to.
Or maybe they will grow up paranoid of opening the door as a throwback to living in a mess.  Maybe they will grow up to be hoarders themselves.  Bottom line the odds are against children who have lived like this.   My heart goes out to them.

Its a battle

For me its kind of a war in my head. I do keep my house clean but every time I let something get a little dirty or even really dirty (like I let the dishes go or I have a small pile of stuff that needs to be put away) I constantly wrestle between worrying that I will end up just like my parents but by being oddly comfortable with the fact that its there. I am oddly at peace when I sleep in my bed if it hasn't been made for days and some of my clean clothes are on it, but I also feel as if I have conquered some weird battle when I get into my bed after I have made it, either way messy or clean I have a feeling of ambivalence. Its rather annoying.
