[quote=Anonymous]See if you can shift part of the 16 yr olds shower routine to her room. Presumably she's not literally in the shower for an hour. Most of that time is likely applying and removing products, doing stuff like dry brushing or a face roller, etc. Most of that can happen in her room.

14 yr old needs to shower daily. Every other day would be the bare minimum but honestly that's unusual not enough for a boy that age-- they start stinking fast due to hormones. This would be non-negotiable for me, I'd die on this hill.

Twins seem fine but check to see if the reason the mirror doesn't fog is because they are rushing, rather than due to cold water. Since they are entering puberty now, you don't want them in the same place your 14 yr old is in now. Make sure they are actually using soap, actually cleaning the spots that need to be cleaned, etc. Kids can do weird things when left to their own devices. I highly recommend getting them age appropriate books on hygiene and discussing them. I've found it helps when they are getting the info from a neutral authority and not just from mom.[/quote]
