| I wish I could help you more. I guess the best I can do is say that your feelings are completely valid and I would have probably smacked her in the head by now. Well, not actually smacked her, but there would have been a major meltdown complete with colorful metaphors and flying objects. :lol: It's ... |

I don't really know your living situation, but from what I had read in the past, it sounds like there are a few people living in the same household? I'm not sure how it is for you, but it would be hard for me...... |

| If I have laughed, it's because I'm happy to see that a child is thinking with that level of insight. I usually follow up by complementing the child on his/her thought or idea...just so he/she knows I wasn't mocking him/her. |

I would probably say I'm a bit on the obsessed side with exercising....to the point that it's affected my health.
I have been obsessed with artwork and perfection as well. I've freaked out over many art projects. |
