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.

If she's 18 & thinks water's free then you haven't done your job! Our kids have been taught the value of a dollar from early on! They know to limit showers etc.. & have known for years!

Educate her about Australia's lack of water and our droughts and water restrictions. Yup 10min shower time per person per day. Gets that dry you can walk across rivers with ouch getting your knees wet.

I'm glad my hot water is free. Taking as many showers a day I want is great.

She does not think water is free. Get rid of the shower massager. An anonymous gift and a 12 pack of AA batteries will save your water bill.

water costs like a penny a gallon. It might as well be free. It is free in my apartment complex. The heater, however, is a different story
