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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

She probably fears judgement about masturbating and hides in the shower.

Shes 18 and doesn't know about water bills?

I don't know about you, but for us, water might as well be free. It's between $50 and $100, depending on the season, quarterly. If someone takes an extra-long shower, it might be a couple cents. No one worries about it. Is this not the case elsewhere, and are we just lucky?

Turn the hot water off when she is taking too long?

By any chance was she quoting '8 Simple Rules' and the reference just bypassed you?

well I could see who she would think that. I'm assuming she do's not pay the bills. I remember when I was 10 that I didn't know that you had to wash your private area in the shower. but yea she is old enough to were she should know that.

Your daughter is giving me the "definitely not prepared for the real world" vibe. You need to start layin' it on her now before she's so unequipped for independence, she'll never be on her own.
