So my mom and I have been having a argument for a while...

[SparkyJJO]

I do every day.... And I don't see it being a waste of water cuz its better to be clean. Just don't spend 30 minutes in there

I'm usually in the shower for 15-20 minutes.

WTH do you do in there? Nvm, I dont think I want to know. I'm a chick, and i shave my legs and wash my hair multiple times and im in there maybe 10-15max..

I don't do what you're thinking. It usually goes like this

Wash hair
Rinse
Wash hair again
Rinse hair again
comb hair
wash face
rinse face
wash body
rinse body
wash back
rinse back

You don't need to, but I know I like to. And if since you're 14, doesn't that mean you still have gym class?

Or agree to cut your showers to 10 minutes. That'd have the same effect as not showering as often as you do now.

I think that sounds good. We can probably compromise to that.

 

[xSauronx]

i shower at least every other day, sometimes daily.

but every 5 days? and she thinks *youre* wrong?

It'd be better for your hair to not wash it daily, or at least to not wash it twice daily.

I technically don't have a "gym class" because I'm homeschooled, but I do excercise (ride bike, run, etc...)

So why does this take more than 7-8 minutes? Besides, why do you comb your hair in the shower??

well that's what takes up most of my time, but it says on the bottle "rinse and repeat".

 

[intogamer]

After your shower you can reuse the water for her shower

 

[daveymark]

OP, is your mom from India?

Wet entire body

This takes me between 10-15 minutes in and out of the shower, depending on other unmentioned factors

You definitely have room to cut down

Wash your hair once
Wash your face once
Wash your entire body before rinsing
Don't comb your hair in the shower! That's definitely a waste of water

If you cut your shower time in half (not hard to do at all), then that's essentially the same amount of water as if you had showered every other day, but you're a hell of a lot more clean. You only need to wash yourself once, the second one really doesn't do anything (unless you're covered in grease or have been exercising all day or something)

Well I suppose I do take a while in there. Maybe I'll just try to cut down on the time I take.

Your mom is psycho.

And disgusting.

Why are you washing your hair twice in 1 shower?

Have a quick shower everyday if you want. Shampooing your hair everyday strips it of it's natural oil. You'll damage your hair.

aah. Okay. I'll have to do that.

Mom is right. Mom is always right. After all, if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

In all seriousness, unless you've been out working in hot weather or doing something messy, I don't see a point to needing to shower every single day, either.

It's not good to wash your face so much anyways. It takes all the natural oils away.

THe shampoo says "rinse and repeat" and "use everyday to recieve maximum effect". It's antidandruff shampoo.

but it's just once a day. and i have acne problems. Not serious enough for medication, but bad enough that if I skip a day with washing my face i'll get some pimples.

EDIT: For those of you wondering, she showers about once every 5 days.

<Terry Tate> That's just nasty! </Terry Tate>

 

[myusername]

Only showers every 5 days? Thank whatever deity you pray to that you're adopted, and continue to shower daily.
