Well, unfortunately I think I am more on the rigid side. I have said this before on other posts, but I am somewhat of a germaphobe. I am beginning to think it is a problem.
 I also like to have everything in it's place and tidy. I don't have children yet, but with my furbabies, they have to be looking sharp at all times. I do the haircutting myself, so they are always groomed and bathed. I also HAVE to be on a schedule. When I don't have a schedule, I freak out and am a very unpleasant person to be around. Luckily, my husband is much the same way as I am so we make a pretty good team. But he is not a germaphobe like I, so that is something that I am currently working on because I know it can sometimes be ridiculous.

I guess maybe I am really more like in the middle then. I'm not a germaphobe, but I don't want to take chances and somethings just totally gross me out. I do like to have everthing in it's place too and I'm on the guys all the time to get this or that put up. Right now I'm going through this "thing" with my son. I have a throw rug in the boys bathroom that belongs in front of the sinks. Every time I go in there lately, it's moved to the wall. I HATE THAT!! It doesn't belong there. I've told my son that if I find it where it doesn't belong again, that will be one day without video games (he's only allowed to play them on weekends for 2 hours each day). My husband is definitely not like that at all. He is a real slob. Like I said before, he has a garage that will hold 4 cars real close, but you can't get a car in there. I think I would be more picky if I had newer furniture and carpets or laminate. But I can't afford it now. I would totally love to redecorate, but then I'm afraid I would become very neurotic (sp). I use to be VERY picky about all that, but as I've aged I've relaxed a bit.....I think.

I think I am a lot like you, Janet. At this stage in my life, I am more in the middle. My hubby and I are in transition mode right now. We are living in an apartment. So, it's not "ours" so I don't really care if things in it get messed up. The furniture is ours, so I do care about that stuff. But as far as the floors getting dirty from the dogs or the walls getting dinged or something, I could really care less.

You will definitely feel different once it's your own place. But still, as picky and nutso as I was about things when I was younger....that has changed somewhat. I would probably still be as wacko, but with the two guys here, it's a losing battle at times. I either had to relax a little or be a bi**h all the time.

I watch that show weekly and I really can't compare with either side. They are both too radical for me. I am not one to keep a PERFECT house but it does stay clean.
I am not the other side of "wild/crazy" follow no rules, and fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal either. I am just a simple woman who likes my quiet home, my fur kids, horse, and wine. I am sure though I could never do a wife swap because Id have to murder the woman who ever came into my home to remove my fur kids. I just couldn't handle that.

You got that right!! I could never leave them and worry about some anti-pet person coming in. If they were ever mistreated...I'd have to...well...I will never have to find out!!!
