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

Give him one minute the next time he gets in and cut it off at the source.

i would take the stinky road and stop taking showers. if your teachers start asking i would tell them that your stepdad will not allow you to shower. that would be a great phone call home. or shower at a friends house.

Cut off his ability to procreate at the source... or just tell your mom. If your mom doesn't care you're in crap territory. Start planning your exit.

Well cutting off his member is extreme - maybe just try talking to your mother, and many other options before considering- in fact, let's just take castration OFF the options list.

Sounds like he's a manipulative, control freak & not even ur real dad on top of it.. god help you. Its just the beginning, if I were in ur position I tell mom immediately about his actions before he takes toll of everything else. Good luck.

Kids are such whiners. My dad used to limit us to 4 minute showers. If you complained he would offer you a "navy shower" which consisted of a minute to get wet, then the water was turned off as long as you wanted while you soaped up, and a minute to rinse off. When you pay the bills you can take showers as long as you want.

Four minutes is a really short shower. Regardless of the time limit, stepdad needs to inform her of the new rule and time limit prior to the shower. She is not a mind reader.

Im sorry but if it was a stranger aka 'step-dad' invading my home, giving me orders how to take a shower, then making a deal on confiscating my phone for 1 fkn week just for another minute in the shower uhm **** no.. im sure you wouldn't like it either. It takes a lot longer than 4 minutes to completely rinse yourself off. Wow this isn't the army for crying out loud. I understand bills & all that stuff, but a 4min shower wont do for anybody. Gosh.

Wtf it might take HIM that long to clean his nasty behind but a girl needs at LEAST 30-45 minutes to make sure you're actually CLEAN!!!!! He's not the only person that lives there

Man, unless you've been rolling in mud and unmentionables, there's no way anyone needs 45 minutes to get clean. 10-15 minutes is plenty to wash your hair and do a thorough scrub.

@63 I'm a girl and my showers last 10-15 minutes max. There's no reason your showers should take a half of an hour.

Soaping, scrubbing, and rinsing body: ~5 minutes Shaving (not just legs...): ~10 minutes Shampooing thigh-length hair: ~2-5 minutes Rinsing that hair: ~2-5 minutes Conditioning that hair: ~5 minutes Rinsing it again: ~5 minutes There you go, a half-hour shower... (The hair is ~3 feet long, for the record)

If you can kick his ass I suggest you play that card real quick. He's not your real dad and he's a manipulating controlling asshat, and in my experience these people seldom listen to logic and reason leaving beat his ass to be the only viable solution. Good luck OP.
