hel-LO. Unless you are paying the water bill, you wash your body and get out. You can go relax in bed with a good book. I can even show you exactly how fast you CAN wash your body. You want me to? Because I don't mind. (That line works well with stinky teenage boys, too. They get in there and wash really fast when Mom offers to show them how to wash their bodies. Hey, I don't care. Those are MY boys.)
I will buy body wash, furnish all the wash cloths necessary, even favorite soap and shampoo. But get clean and get out.
Of course that might be a throwback to my Marine days.
Amen Hunter! Army guy here, so I know the deal with shower times. I understand the Navy is the worst with it since they have to conserve water on the ship, but at least there are showers. On long patrols in Mesopotamia we'd go for a week or two with just wiping our bodies down with damp rags, not exactly good for the skin, and all that sweat and grim that gets caked into a layer between you and your clothing, but you have to make do with what you can.
Most Americans are just wussies and I can't believe how many adults have posted here that a parent they don't even know should just allow a child they don't know to do whatever that child wants. What better way to grow a generation of entitled brats?...(oh wait, smartphones, never mind)
i do not yet have kids, but i wash my dishes, do my own laundry, cook 95% of my own meals, and pay my own bills.
heh wait 'til you're doing that for 3 or 4 people and changing diapers and not getting much sleep because the babies cry in the night. You're probably thinking you don't have to listen to this old guy, but you haven't lived it yet. Paying your own bills, cooking your own food and washing your own dishes is so freekin easy. Even if you work 50 hours a week!
I don't think anyone here wants to broach the M-word.
