i too used to be a bit of a tidy up freak and sometimes now find myself tidying up when i should be playing with my girls, i have to keep reminding myself that the floors don't know they need cleaning but my daughter does know i haven't played with her for days and i keep having to apologise for always being so busy! i have been getting her involved in helping with little jobs like sorting laundry and making tidying up a game so she feels like we're playing, which is a bit of a cheat but at least we are doing something together! try and put the jobs aside for even half and hour to just play and don't worry too much about mess. your daughter will love just being with you. or do all the jobs in the morning and put time aside in the afternoon to play or do one special activity together. is there a toddler group you could go to where she can play and make lots of mess without you being left with the tidying up? i don't think you have an ocd just need to rethink and reshuffle priorities- maybe once you have tidied up go out together for a while- like to a park where you can play knowing the house is already tidy and it might help you relax and enjoy your time together x good luck and have fun x

i think i may have ocd (obsessive compulsive dissorder) i cant stop claening and tidying to enjoy time with my daughter. i find myself cleaning up straight after shes finished playing. i get really anxious when i see her pulling her toys out. i like things to be tidy and left where iv put them.iv come to look forward to her sleep times just so i can clen. is it me whos like this? do i have a problem or is there anyone else like this?
