Morning routines can make or break a household, especially when space and time are limited.

So when one young woman stuck to her set shower schedule, her father suddenly decided her habits were a personal inconvenience.

Now, what should’ve been a normal morning turned into a full-blown family standoff over the bathroom.

Read on for the full story!

AITAH for taking a shower every day at 7:30?

I (early twenties) live with my family of five other people, and we all share one bathroom.

I always take my shower at the exact same time every morning, and I’m usually in there for about 20 minutes tops.

She tries to be considerate enough of her family, who all share the same bathroom.

Before I take my shower, I let everyone who’s awake know I’m doing so and give them the opportunity to use the bathroom.

Now, my father (nearing 50) has begun throwing a fit about this.

Her father begins to share his disapproval over her routine.

He says, and I quote, “I have a morning routine too. I drink my coffee and I have to use the bathroom after. I don’t know when I’m gonna have to do that.”

He wants me to take my showers after I get home from work instead of in the mornings, because that’s what he does.

My mother thinks I should just wake up earlier so I can take a shower at 7, before he wakes up.

She doesn’t think this is fair at all.

I think that’s ridiculous because I don’t leave for work until 8:30, and that would mess with my entire sleeping schedule and morning routine.

I’d be sitting here with my thumb up my nose for at least an hour before I can even leave for work.

And before anyone says “just move out,” please just know I would if I could.

AITA?

Oh, the joys of living with your parents.

What did Reddit have to say?

This commenter thinks this person’s family needs to do a better job adjusting their own routines.

Maybe a small compromise is the best way forward?

Let’s be clear: a 20-minute shower is not a long shower.

20 minutes to yourself in the bathroom should be a luxury afforded to everyone.

Who knew a simple shower could spark such chaos?
