Cruise or control
Control freak or team player?
Can you delegate and share chores and space with others happily in an accepting way, or are you driven to do things over or tweak what others have already done?
Do you welcome help or face sharing control with fear and trepidation?

Re: Cruise or control
Funny you should ask that..... I go a little of both ways. Housecleaning, I love the help, but if it's not done the way I do it I tend to get a little peaved. Dishes, for example. They have to be washed a certain way, stacked a certain way and dried a certain way. Sweeping.... Get in the frickin' corners, for the love of Pete!!

That's also called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder you know... 
I wouldn't say I'm a control freak, I like being in control of a situation but if I'm not I usually try to adapt.

Delegate and share chores and space with others happily!! And when chores get done, they get done, not a freak with that either, yeah, I try to keep things neat, most of the time.

Re: Cruise or control
I guess after reading this, I am somewhat of a control freak. Especially in the kitchen, dishes washed a certain way and stacked along with the pots being done right.
Also very particular with clothes being hung right after coming out of the dryer--folded and creased and hung in closet a certain way.

Re: Cruise or control
I think the three of us are being referred to as "obsessive compulsive freaks" in this forum

Re: Cruise or control
I'm both. If your gonna clean, then damn it clean. Ya don't just go thru the motions and not do it right. Kinda like Moon says, get in the corners, and don't forget about the tops of the base molding, and tops of the doors either. I know MA likes the shirts folded just a certain, so when I get done folding them, she refolds them.

Re: Cruise or control
Just as long as it gets done, there are a few things I'll tweak after someone else has done it...but not many and not much.
Somedays, I have to accept that I only have the time and can only spare the effort to "hit the high points" when it comes to chores...I know that as soon as it's possible, I'll make it right.
