Answer 1

A psychologist who follows Freud would suggest both are fixated in the An al Stage

Why is this a nal stage

According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory the An al Stage occurs during the ages of 18 months to 3 years and it centers around the child's experience with toilet training.

Fixation at this stage can lead to personality traits associated with orderliness and cleanliness or messiness and disorganization (an al-expulsive) in adulthood.
