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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I've found that the water bill has been much lower than usual as of late. I then realized that this is because I'm so depressed and hardly get out at all, that I've stopped showering or even taking care of myself in general. Who do I have to impress, anyway? 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 17 year-old reacted with shock and horror when she learned that a single utility bill can amount to more than 200 dollars. 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 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, 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, my roommate decided to go on a group trip instead of paying our water bill. Now I can't shower until next 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Try a scare tactic and ask her what's going to happen if her boyfriend comes over to surprise her. I bet that'll put her on a regular shower schedule.

I hope he feels special. ._.

This is just so wrong on so many levels...

Easy solution - demand that he come over every day. AFTER you've fitted your daughter with a chastity belt.

I would have him come over unexpectedly, after she hasn't showered for a few days and just happen to be in the bathroom when he shows up. If he asks what smells, ask your daughter to explain it to him. It'll solve the problem real quick!

Why is it that the only reason you figured this out was the water bill? Wouldn't she start to smell?

Parents have this strange tendency to have to continue working during the summer while their children are out of school. It is possible that the OP simply thought that her daughter was doing things that made her sweat in excess during the day before they saw each other. I mean think about how bad most of the little league, beer league, and all the other sport league people stink once the game is done. Since we don't know the OP's daughter, we don't know what she's into, so anything is possible.

Hm, so it's moneysaving AND (possibly) teen pregnancy? Sounds smart! I mean, if they get a baby- you can always sell it on the black market.

What the hell kind of logic is this?

pretty sure that there is nothing in this fml saying they are having sex...

What use is a baby on the black market? Many people wouldn't take a baby for free!

If it's a white baby you can get some serious money for it. Well, the broker can.

But hey, who wouldn't want a baby? a cup holder and an ashtray all in one (if you push that squishy part on the head!) And if you still don't get it- well, I suppose that irony nowadays is quite ancient.

He should feel special, if he only knew

So what if they break up? The combination of blue funks and lazyness could be devastating!

She does have a pretty good point.

Get the boyfriend to come more often, lol. ...and in the meantime have a serious talk with your daughter.
