Good things to pick up though! I believe much of behavior is culturally influenced and not as a result of genes, ie. parental behavior, which children pick up very fast.

His sense of humor, my temper... Poor Harry. Watch out - by the sounds of it, you and your husband rolled into one would be "Monk". Or me.

Poor Harry.

I live among slobs. I married a slob. I birthed slobs. I can't get anyone around here interested in picking up the obsessive reins I'm dangling. Congrats on rubbing off on those little darlings. Enjoy your well wiped house. I curse you and all other who have successfully passed on their obsessive traits. I am stuck here, alone, among a houseful of sloths, to fester in my own failure to reproduce in a meaningful way - a way that means tidy bedroom and pubic- free toilet seats. Damn, Damn, Damn!!!!

But sadly, every single one of us is a born mess maker, and none of us care enough to be fanatical about it. As long as we can walk and not stick to the floor.... count yourself lucky!

Neither of my sons managed to procure the gene responsible for that. Genetics. It's a crap shoot. I am both a picker upper and a wiper downer.

I don't wipe down every surface I see, but I do have the "clean counter-top" syndrome. I think it is truly genetic. And maybe a little observation, but heck... they gotta wanna. :-) I am plagued by both of those things: mess and doot!
