I am screaming in my head and desperately don't want to lose my temper at DS but I am about to go insane.
DS (5) is so obsessive about everything and I feel like I can't cope with it. My BIL is just the same and I feel like I just can't bear a whole life putting up with it.
The kitchen table has to be both completely clear of things and clean whenever he sits there. A tiny spill of water must be cleaned up immediately. A classmate went near him and a bit of that classmates hair went 'in' his mouth and he needs to move seats. And on and on and on.
I know I'm being intolerant and he's only young and maybe advice about how I just cope with it is the thing rather than advice of how to get him to relax I don't know. But it's just so so different from my personality and the thought of adhering to everything little thing like this is soul destroying. I see it first hand with what MIL went through with BIL. She says it's turned her into such an uptight person and swears she used to be so laid back (now most highly strung person I know)
