Today, I realized why my water bill has gone down so much. My 16 year old daughter now only feels it necessary to shower whenever her boyfriend is going to come over. FML

Try a scare tactic and ask her what's going to happen if her boyfriend comes over to surprise her. I bet that'll put her on a regular shower schedule.

And afterwards if you know what I mean.

I don't understand peoples issues with not showering every day. People survive weeks without showers; it's not like you get fungal growths or anything.

Her boyfriend doesn't come over a lot does he?

Well at least your water bill decreased a lot. That's the bright side. Maybe, just maybe it means she showers to get ready for him to come over so she's fresh and nice for him ;)

Invite him over more for surprise visits.

Unless you're running around working up a sweat or it's really hot, or you have unnaturally high perspiration, not everyone needs to shower daily. Your hair is actually healthier if you shampoo only once every 2-3 days, because shampoos strip it of nutrients, so you don't even need to wash your hair on a daily basis, let alone your body. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the whole daily shower thing was only promoted by toiletry companies. Of course, technically according to the AHA, you should be exercising on most days of the week, which means she should probably be showering at least 4 days per week if she's exercising, but still that's not every day.
