  I\'ve been there with the sand, stickers, pebbles in the dryer, Play Doh, and accursed glitter. Balloons, too. My wife had a wellness fair at work yesterday and brought two helium-filled hell spheres into our house for the boys. She thankfully asked if it was okay to bring them in and I insisted that they stay in the mudroom until I could dispose of them with a bamboo skewer. In my world, the only good balloon is a popped balloon.

  There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

  I stumbled across this while trying to figure out what my own symptoms were called. The right angles belying a wicked mess out of sight. Oh the things a two-year old can do that just tears at the fabric of all that is orderly and in place.
  
  I couldn't believe the parallels between our "condition". Like you, I don't feel it is appropriate to call it OCD because OCD is a chronic life-altering thing. This is a definitely a more low level weirdness.
  
  Best of luck.

  My husband actually has diagnosed OCD, and has been off work for a while now. We have a small toddler. OCD is way more than a need to have order,,,it's a very debilitating disease to the patient and their families. Googling your page looking for support made me sad that such a serious topic is taken so lightly. I appreciate the humour, but doin't think it's appropriate to label your need for organization as a disease. It can be horrible, and you definately don't want to have it....even as a joke!

  But it is an out of sight, out of mind situation. If you look through my closets and drawers you will find a dumpster but I will be damned if the counters aren’t orderly.
  
  You mentioned "out of sight, out of mind" well I'm the opposite. I have OCD but I become more preoccupied with cleaning under the kitchen sink or ordering a closet than picking up toys or sweeping the floor. I have yet to grasp the concept of "tidying up". An unorganized closet will bother me more than dirty dishes on the counter.

  Everyone seems to have various degrees of this. I myself admits to the fact that double / triple checking has become a habit of mine, not only because of the hazards incurred by the modern world we live in, but because that it has somehow became an obsession. I just hope that my kids won't inherit this from me, so they would have a relaxed and more enjoyed life.
