Darby and Shelby take turns getting showers first, and earlier in the week Darby used up most of the hot water, so Shelby had to take a half-cold shower.
Darby went first again tonight and I warned her three times to move along. After five minutes I asked her if she had washed her hair yet. She said no. I asked if she had washed anything yet, and she said no. So I turned off the hot water.
I told her I wouldn't let her stand there doing nothing and getting all the hot water again, leaving her sister with hardly any. She didn't like that at all. In fact, she started to cry. She said it was REALLY cold. And it was. But I explained that Shelby didn't have a choice about the matter the other day, and that there were plenty of warnings.
If felt bad, really, but the point had to be made.
