AIO for my mom not letting my friends shower at our house?

**FOR CONTEXT:** this only happens at sleepovers. I'm supposed to have a sleepover with a friend from my class, today, since it's my time to host one with her at my place.

Now i was discussing with my mom about this sleepover and the topic of showering came up (she brought it up) and she *specifically* said that "whoever sleeps at our home is **not** allowed to shower here, only at their home" - which i do understand, from a hygiene perspective, but i still find it odd. It's not like my friend is dirty or whatever... Also, it's hot and sunny out, and we'll spend some time outside, so a shower is a must after a long day. I'm sure my friend wouldn't comment on it, i don't know how i could even tell her since it's quite strange.

Let me know, and dont be too harsh!

edit: we are both 17 😭 im still in highschool.

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (100% confidence)

Top comment: “NOR. That's honestly super weird and I can't even really think of a valid reason for that rule to be a thing. It doesn't make sense hygiene-wise, either, because you're literally telling someone they can't get clean.

I mean, not the most unhinged 'house rule' I've ever heard and I don't think it's worth raising a major fuss over, but I'd certainly try to non-confrontationally find out what on Earth is going through her mind that she's concerned about someone showering at your house.”

Notable comment: “That's *incredibly* weird. You are NOR but your mum is definitely OR by trying to ptrevent this. Does she do this to her own guests when they stay at your home? Does your dad, or any other adult, live in your hom as well, and if so, could you talk to them if your mum is serious becasue this is very, very strange.

If someone is staying over at your home the **bare minimum** requirements are

\- you feed them,

\-you provide washing / bathroom faciities

\- You provide somewhere to sleep (with a sleepover that may mean floor space for them to put their own bedding, or a couch, )

Has she said why she wants to prevent them showing at your home?

Do you live soemwhere there are severe water shortages or where water it restricted?

IF you have metered water it would be OK for her to set a time limit per shower so noone is spenind an hour and using vast amounts of water, but not permitting them to wash / shower at all is very, very odd.

I am not sure why you are saying you understand it from a hygiene perspective - not allowing someone to wash is UNhygienic, if your mother is wierd about other people using your shower then the appropriate thing for her to do would be to ask you to clean the shower after you and your friend have used it, not to try to prevent them using it at all.

You need to talk to your mum again and be clear that yhis is really starnage and it is not a reasonable thing for her to seek to impose on a guest, but then if she sticks to her position I think you need to warn your friend - she may well not to stay over if they are not going to be allowed to wash, so you need to warn her.”

UK Property Market Update June 2026

June has brought a more thoughtful tone to the UK property market. The spring rush has cooled slightly, but activity has not disappeared. Buyers are still looking, sellers are still listing, landlords are still seeing demand, and tenants are still competing for quality homes. The big difference this month is that the market feels more selective. Buyers are comparing carefully, sellers are having to work a little harder to stand out, and rental growth is no longer climbing at the pace seen in previous years. It is not a market for guesswork. It is a market for preparation, good presentation and... https://www.cardwells.co.uk/uk-property-market-update-june-2026/

Am I overreacting for not letting my date come to a concert with me for being 1 and 1/2 hours late?

I had been looking forward to this concert for weeks, and he knew how excited I was about it.

We had plans to go together. The venue was far away (about 1 hour and 15 minutes), so I had told him beforehand that we should leave to the concert around 6:30 PM to make it on time. I had also told him that I hadn’t eaten anything all day, so the plan was to get food before heading to the concert.

He was supposed to arrive at my house around 4:30–4:45 PM because he said he’ll get ready in 10 and the road takes 20-30 min so we can eat together. We talked on the phone at 4 PM, and during the call I told him to charge my power bank a little too as I had forgotten it with him. He said he’d charge it for 10-15 min.

He didn’t end up arriving until 6:15 PM which is about an hour and a half late. By then, there was no time to get food, and we were already cutting it close for the concert. When I asked why he was so late, the only explanation he gave was that he was “charging my power bank.”

What upset me most wasn’t even just the lateness. If he knew he was going to be late, he could have called or texted me so I could at least eat something instead of waiting. I had planned my day around us going together.

When he finally got to my house I got upset and told him I was going alone. He thinks I overreacted, but I feel like I communicated the timing clearly, he knew how important this concert was to me, and a quick message would have let me adjust my plans.

Am I overreacting?

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (90% confidence)

Top comment: “NOR never wait around for a man or anyone else who doesn’t value your time. You should have just left without him but I get it. Being that late is blatantly disrespectful.”

Notable comment: “girl I ended it with a man who was "late" by my standards to a comedy show I bought tickets for. I told him to be there for 630. Show starts at 7, and the theater closes the doors at 7. They do not reopen the doors after 7, that one of their hard rules. I specifically told him 630 so we can have a drink together, find our seats and settle into the show. (For some context, this was maybe our 7th or 8th date and he had been late to almost every single date, so at this point I was over it).

Its 6:58 and hes nowhere to be found. Ive texted him multiple times, I told him exactly where inside I was waiting for him. He texts me at 702, "im at our seats where are you?" He legit showed up at 7 on the dot and laughed while telling me how silly it was the door guy almost didnt let him in.

He said he was late because he wanted to "shower and look good for you" despite me telling him ahead of time that I had to leave right after dinner after the show as I had to be into work early the next day. He knew we were not going to be hooking up after.

He then spent the entire dinner trying to figure out what childhood trauma of mine caused me to be upset by his lateness. I reminded him that id told him multiple times not to therapize me, as I already pay someone to do that. (He was a therapist) and then claimed the death of my father was the cause, because I said that he had taught me early on that if youre on time youre late, if youre early youre on time. (Which is also something I told him after he was late again to our 3rd date. I gave this man too many chances I know lol)

All that to say... if something like being on time is important to you, and he cant respect or understand that, you have no reason to stick around for someone like that. NOR”

Signs Your Tenant May Be Thinking About Leaving & What Landlords Can Do

Tenant retention for landlords has become a much hotter topic since the Renters’ Rights Act came into effect in England on 1 May 2026. With most private tenancies now running periodically, tenants can usually leave by giving two months’ written notice. That means keeping good tenants happy is no longer just a nice idea. It is a practical way to protect your rental income, reduce void periods and keep your investment working hard. As a property management company in Bolton & Bury, we know that most tenants do not suddenly decide to move overnight. There are often small signs that your... https://www.cardwells.co.uk/signs-your-tenant-may-be-thinking-about-leaving/
