Today, I confronted my 18-year-old daughter about her excessively lengthy showers. She said she didn't see the big deal, considering the water "comes free with the house." No dear, it doesn't. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized why my water bill has gone down so much. My 16 year old daughter now only feels it necessary to shower whenever her boyfriend is going to come over. FML
Today, my mother told me to take a quick shower. When I got out, she told me I took too long, and now I have to pay the utilities bill. My shower was two minutes long. FML
Today, I had to have a discussion with my 54-year-old mother about showering. She thinks it's perfectly OK to shower only once a week. FML
Today, my 14 year-old daughter threw a massive fit over showering. She dislodged the shower curtain rod and threatened to beat us with it if we ever force her to shower again. FML
Today, I was complaining to my boyfriend about our excessive water bill. He then says, "Don't look at me, I don't even shower." FML
Today, my daughter spent three hours crying and having a temper tantrum over being forced to have a bath after four days without one. My daughter is 16. FML
Today, my mom revoked my shower privileges for a week, all because I'm “using too much water.” I'm the kind of person who will smell like garbage after one skipped shower. FML
Today, I was asked by my live-in landlord not to put too much water in the kettle because it made the utility bills too high. This is the same woman who takes daily baths. FML
Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML
Today, my daughter used my towel. She thought that because it was clean, it would be okay. She’s 27. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Let her pay a bill and then see how she feels about her shower length.

Just do what my mom used to do, bang on the door and yell until she gets out. Or invest in a shower timer.

Some people just won't know until they're on their own.

You sure she wasn't referencing whatever film that's from?

She's masturbating in there. I remember when I was a teen, my parents were always mad about how long I spent in there, and that's exactly what I was doing. Give her a break, at least she's not sleeping around and getting pregnant.

I hope she shaves her legs each shower with all that time in there.

Explain it to her, show her the bills. She should know this by 18 but no harm in teaching her to avoid this next time.

I agree. In all the apartments that I've ever rented, the water has been included in the rent. Or in rare cases you pay a certain amount each month and get unlimited use of water. So if the issue never came up before, she understandbly did not know.

Shouldn't she know that? I mean most kids move out at that time and it's common sense. WATER bill, phone bill, etc.
