[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we were teenagers and it took us longer, they instituted a 20 minute shower rule (in the water, they didn't care how long we were in the bathroom putting stuff on our face, blah blah).

Because if we each took a long shower it would run the hot water out and it's a waste of water. You need to get in, wet yourself, shampoo, wash body, rinse, conditioner, rinse again and boom!  You are done.  20 minutes is all you need with the water running.

I would flat out, but gently, tell your 14 year old that he smells and it's not ok to not wash every other day at least, and he needs to wash every day when he does a sport or was really active to make him sweat. But how they heck can he take a shower if his sister in the water for 1 hour?  That's another reason why she needs to shorten that shower!

And deoderant, not cologne, is what keeps you from smelling.  He needs to use that.  [/quote]

Are you adding a zero to this?  Do you mean a 2 minute shower?[/quote]
