Today, I was formally diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive tendencies. My mom saw this as an excuse to make me clean the whole house top to bottom, because "Hey, you love to clean." FML

Today, I asked my mother if we could test me for OCD, since so many people have suggested to me that I might have it. She smiles at me and says, "No, honey, you're just really really weird." FML

Today, I had my first day off in six months. My mother immediately came down to my room and demanded that I clean the entire house. As I was cleaning, she said, "You don’t get to relax. Ever. Lazy ass." FML

Today, I decided to clean the whole house as a surprise for my mother. When she came home, she screamed at me and called me a bitch because she had wanted to clean it herself. FML

Today, my mum told me I should see a therapist when she saw me wipe down a remote before using it. My dad has a knack for blowing his nose into his hand and wiping it on his pants, and my mum is the kind to pick up food residue from the drain and eat it - but sure, I'M the one with bad habits. FML

Today, after losing my job, my apartment and my man, I had to move back in with my mom, at 37. She’s a total slob; I can’t function without clean, organized spaces. So, hey, at least I have a new full-time job now: cleaning up after her. FML

Oh but of course you love to clean! Just like how people with severe depression just LOVE to feel hopeless and dejected every minute of their lives...

OCD doesn't always mean cleanliness, it just means order to your preference. Explain that to her next time.

Make her clean it or just walk out of the house.

You can't blame her for trying to take advantage of the situation

You can't blame her mother for trying to take advantage of her child's diagnosed disorder? That's completely logical, clearly.

FYL op. I have OCD too and my family has yet to understand no it doesn't mean I like to clean, it means thing have to be in specific places and orders. Sometimes it looks clean an tidy, sometimes it looks like a disorganized mess... But the order makes sense to me. Also OCD can make cleaning hard because you are so focused on getting one part "right" you can't get the whole house done.

Now kids, what do you do when someone offers you chores? "JUST SAY NO!"

If OP was me, and her mom was my mom, this is what would happen: Mom: Oh, you have OCD? Go clean the house from top to bottom because you love to clean. Me: No. Mom: Alright, if you don't clean the house, I'm going to get the belt. Me: *Starts cleaning frantically* Now do you see why you shouldn't say no to your parents? (Note that this wouldn't happen to me, but it did to my parents.)
