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

You need to talk to your mom about this because he is a tyrant

Wet your skin and hair, turn off the tap. Then suds up without the water on. Then rinse. It can be done. But I'd get counseling on an abusive stepdad. Or shower when he isn't around!

We used to have a 4 minute timer that would shut off the water for another 4. Trying to fill up the bath sucked. Talk to him and see if you can't get a water saving shower head and then extend the time by a few minutes :) Or try and take short showers when he's there and just wash your hair when he's not home :)

So fill up a bucket with hot water then have a shower ~15 min later and use the water for rinsing.

3 minutes? how does he expect you to wash your whole body and hair in 3 minutes???

Where the hell are your parents?! My parents would lose it on any of their boyfriends or girlfriends for trying to take control over us. They are not the parent.

@44 Step-parents are married to the parents. But Op's mom should still have a chat with her husband.

He could have at least told you about it before you showered. Even so that's a ridiculously short amount of time

Next time he does something important on the computer shut off the power after 3 minutes
