Am I being selfish?


Question Posted Tuesday August 8 2006, 10:32 am

Tomorrow is my first day of school and i'm really excited. But I have to get up at 5 in the morning to get ready and leave for the bus stop at 6:20ish. Problem is my shower is broken and we can't get the repairs done till 10 in the morning tomorrow.. ughh. My mom is letting me use her shower in her room but I can't until her boyfriend gets up 5:45! I really can't wait that long because it takes me an hour to get ready. It's not like I can't do some things before I take a shower like putting on my make-up, clean my ears, and stuff. I asked my mom nicely if she could get up at 5 and so could her boyfriend just for one day. And it's only a half hour difference. She started flipping out on me too. Do you honestly think I'm being selfish? and how can I convince her?, I've already cleaned the whole house! thanks for advice.

Make sure you address that it is the first day of school and that her boyfriend waking up earlier is only a temporary solution.

Another suggestion...

Why don't you take your showers at night? You can blow dry your hair and straighten it and sleep on it. Hair always looks better after its been slept on. Your makeup can be done in the morning. I've done this for 2 years and its worked out great for me!!

somtimes adults can be real babys about their importand sleep and somtimes they can be real unreasonable about stuff they dont want to do. it is a tad self centered but they should be more understanding and reasonable. what may work for you is to not take a whole shower but maybe just get your hair wet and maybe wash your face and since your bathroom still has a mirror maybe put on your make up on in there.

you should tell your mom and her boyfriend that you won't bother them and that you'll just take a very very very quick shower and then do your stuff in the other bathroom.

hope that helps and good luck

Shower at night. That's what I do. It saves soo much time. You'll still be clean in the morning, and plus you can sleep later :) have fun on your first dayy! <3briana

why don't you just shower tonight. I always shower the night before.. it allows me to sleep in longer

if you are worried about your hair getting messed up while you sleep wash it tonight then rewet it in the morning. I don't think either of you are really being selfish.. they are being nice enough to share their shower so you should be kind and go when they ask.. although it still kinda sucks for you there isnt much you can do.

Also you could call a neighbor and see if you could borrow their shower early

I dont' really understand the problem.

Why can't you just shower while the boyfriend sleeps?

I don't think your being selfish. I love the first day of school. And I always have to look perfect. [:

Just propose that to your mom.
The boyfriend shouldn't be more important than you.

I don't know your mom personally, so I can't help you with the convincgin part, but I thought I might suggest that idea.

Hope all goes well. nn;

Yours Dearly,

since she's your mom, you really can't do anything about it. don't bother her with it, but sit down & talk to her. juss explain that since it's the first day of school you really don't want to be late. i don't think this is something you can bribe her with & she probably doesn't want to wake up early so you can take a shower. since it's juss for tomorrow, try talking to her about it. i don't think its really being selfish, because showers are important. if she says no again, there's nothing you can really do. juss try getting absolutely everything done before you take a shower, take a shower quickly, maybe 10 mins, so that you can have about 15-20 to do everything else.

-hope that helped!&hearts;
