If I have to hear my kids battle it out one more morning over who’s using up all the hot water in the shower, I’m going to explode. Everyday it’s the same thing, it’s a race to see who’s getting up first and getting in the shower for the hot water. In our house, the saying if you snooze you lose is SO appropriate. It’s getting so bad that my kids stay in the shower even longer than they need to just to piss each other off.
When I’m downstairs in the kitchen, it’s like an all out war upstairs. I sit and try to peacefully read the paper and this is all I hear upstairs as they bang on the doors.
“Aren’t you done yet?”
“I called it, I’m next in the shower.”
“What the heck are you doing in there?”
“It’s my turn, you’ve been in there long enough.”
“Come on, how long does it take to wash your hair, you barely have any.”
“Stop just standing in there and get out of the freakin shower!”
There are even times when I hear wrestling taking place in the bathroom or see one of my kids running down the hall in a towel and dripping wet, screaming at the others that there’s no hot water left.
I think it’s time to invest in one of those tankless water heaters, they guarantee that you won’t run out of hot water . I don’t care how much they cost, at this point, mom’s sanity is worth it!
