My daughter has OCD. It's rough because if your child has OCD and they are little then you by proxy have OCD too lol. Like she needs all the cabinet doors/drawers to be closed at all times but can't reach the high ones. It's not her being a brat, the doors being open makes her obsessively anxious, she is 2 and she cries until I close them.
Other weirdness:
-Bottles and containers must have their tops/lids on
-Obsessive patterns and rhythms: she takes the top off a water bottle, puts the top on the table to the right side of the bottle, takes a small sip, puts the top on, taps it three times, shakes the bottle to see the water move, sets the bottle on the table and repeats the exact process 20 or 30 times or until there is no more water left in the bottle.
-She counts everything. I'm actually scared to teach her how to count any higher because she gets into long drawn out counting rituals.
-She can't stand to see anything laying around. She is the only two year old on the planet that picks up around the house. She moves through the house checking to make sure nothing is out of place. My keys are on the table "Mom here are your keys" I set them on the counter, she brings them again and again until I hide them out of sight. Same with all other small objects.
-She keeps a rigid schedule all by herself. She wants to eat the same thing at the same time every day and tells me when it's bedtime.
@ Charlie how old is your father and has he always had OCD tendencies? If so, have they always been that bad?
