Parents annoyed by excessive cleanliness

[sofiaparker]

I am very very OCD and I do hygiene tasks a lot like regular surface disinfection and laundry loads. I change my bed once a week and this really annoys my parents. They think I'm being wasteful. I used to have super long showers before but have cut it down drastically to 15mins max now with the tap off most of the time while I'm lathering soap and scrubbing the shower before rinsing and maybe a quick shave. My parents get so triggered by my hygiene routines.

I've heard parents being annoyed at messy kids. But I'm not messy at all and still getting yelled at!!

AIBU?

15 minutes in the shower is fine. I spend a lot longer than that in the bathroom. My son used to have 50 minute bath followed by a shower to rinse off, I don't know how long he takes now but know he still enjoys a leisurely bath.

Your parents are being unreasonable, why does it matter so much to them if they are not having to queue for the bathroom?

I don't think fifteen minutes under the shower is excessive at all, people shouldn't be timing you, it's your time. As long as you are not holding anyone else up, why are they worried? I've never timed how long I take.
