I have manias, like everyone. I consider myself pretty easy going , but in the end I see myself becoming more and more engrained into my own habits, my own ideas, my own perspectives. So, one of the worse (for my husband) has to be the location of objects around the house. I had never thought about it, but I realized my husband tiptoes around me when he asks me where to out certain things- like laundry, pots, and groceries. Initially, I was irritated- c'mon, you don't know where we keep this and that in the house?? Then I realized that I am a panther (in Italian, it means I am quite aggressive) when things are displaced. I get truly pissed off when I cannot find my favorite pan in the right cabinet, the pasta on the right shelf, and the socks in the right drawer. So, it's yet again about me: getting me annoyed and ask me where to put stuff is actually better than getting me pissed off because I can't find something. He picks his battle right! Since I took notice I have been trying to keep myself at bay, and not yell at him, but in general I realize I have the path set to be a 70-year-old lady set in her ways, who has dinner at a set time and eats always the same three things, and grandchildren cannot move any items else they could be verbally executed by grandma.
*sigh*
