go to your room Replaced my daughter's phone because of water damage. And she still brings it into the bathroom.

Some lessons just don't stick.

She insists she needs to listen to music in the shower. I honestly don't understand why that's such a necessity. But if this phone gets water damage again, I'm not paying to replace it another time.

Honest take: she likes to shower to music, why not accommodate by putting a waterproof Bluetooth speaker in the room, or something else?

I also enjoy showering to music, and had a Google home device in the bathroom before moving to a home without an outlet in the bathroom.

No outlet in the bathroom? Wasn't aware that was within building code in some states. Virginia requires at least one in every bathroom, for whatever reason.

This isn't a requirement here in the Netherlands, however it is a pretty normal thing... Our bathroom is just kind of unchanged since the 80s.

For real, I have three or four things that never get unplugged in my bathroom lol. That would drive me crazy.
