Is she taking  hour long showers?  Most women generally take longer showers, especially if shaving/grooming. My dad tried something like that and did the whole 5 min military shower thing on me. Cut the hot water on me. I returned the favor on him several times when he showered. Damn near turned into a fist fight. He threatened to install a separate meter in my room for electricity and charge me for water. I stopped showering for weeks and when he complained about my funkiness I argued I wouldn't be able afford his water and would rather be filthy than to hear him complain about me when my showers totaled 7 minutes. I was spending all my time at the school library to use the schools computers and getting lower grades for hand writing reports, when they were required to be typed or printed. That really annoyed the crap out of him, especially the lower grades. The biggest face palm for my dad was when a concerned school counsellor called my dad regarding my quality of life at home, since I was filthy and was "not allowed" to use electricity or water. It was about a 2 month ordeal before my dad and I came to an understanding and mutual agreement. He realized that he was being insane about his rules... Especially since I was a Relatively good kid. He also knew that if things kept going the way it was, one of us would probably end up with assault charges.  It wasn't worth a lifetime of animosity and hate for something as silly as 10 minute showers or playing video games all day on a Saturday.</blockquote>
