I'm A Neat Freak. My Kids Clearly Aren't. This Will Not End Well.

"I admit it, I'm a neat freak," writes Diana Park. "Messes give me anxiety. I like my house to look nice. I prefer for everything to be in its place and put away. And when my kids were younger, it went beyond making them clean up their own messes. I wanted their bedrooms to be decorated and kept a certain way. That meant I picked out their bedding — vetoing the John Deere set that my son really wanted for his first bed — and made sure everything was organized and matching."

Well, as they got older, she backed off. And today, she's admitting why that was a BIG mistake.
