Today, I discovered my new step-dad has a rule about the shower. After three minutes, he turns the water off at the source. I had to beg him to turn it back on whilst covered in shampoo suds, and the only way I could get him to give me another minute was to forfeit my phone for the week. FML

I think you should talk to your mom about this. Three minutes isn't enough to shower unless you're The Flash, that's ridiculous. I hope you sort things out with an adult, OP, that's unreasonable.

Obviously there should be a conversation between OP and their mom and maybe even this new step father. But a 3 min shower is possible, not fun but possible. We had shower drills in basic training and had ONE min. I'm sure your family will come around though

This sounds like my friends dad.. He once took her door for not cleaning "correctly" underneath the toilet

That's nigh on abusive. So controlling.

But. What about shaving etc as well as washing? No one can shower in three minutes and if your stepdad 'can', he is not clean.

Control freak, and what's worse is that he controls others. That's not alright.

A three min shower is possible if you're just washing your hair and have short hair or body, not both. If you have long hair you have no chance especially if you want to condition. It's especially not possible if you weren't expecting that's how long you had until the water gets shut off on you, he should have at least told you before you got in. =

People like you are what is wrong with the world.

I suppose it could be mental abuse but that's kind of a stretch.

tech. it is abuse because not being allowed to properly clean yourself can lead to rashes, infections on the skin, etc. also should he become more controlling it could be mental abuse.

A swift kick to the balls everytime he turns it off should be amusing
