Is this as abnormal / hard to understand as my mother makes it out to be?
Is this as abnormal / hard to understand as my mother makes it out to be? When I have something that needs to be done, and I can't get to it / finish it immediately, I put it on the floor so that I'll remember it. It's hard to forget something if you keep tripping over it. When my life is particularly busy or hectic, and I don't have time for side projects, my floor gets pretty full of stuff, causing a certain parental unit to say that it's dirty and in need of cleaning. And it frustrates her to death that "cleaning" my room means going through and finishing all those little projects. She says I'm looking for any excuse not to clean my room, that I have a short attention span, and that I need her riding my back to keep me going. No, her riding me just makes things harder, because I generally need to approach things on my own terms, and when someone else starts telling me my way is wrong, it just...doesn't work. :-P Is anyone else like this / able to sympathize with any of this?
