love it. i too dont see the problem of waiting your turn. just how long does it take for a person to do number one, or brush your teeth. seriously?????
and just why can your guests ever use the regular bathroom, whats so secretive???? I just dont get this modern concept that guests, which are not strangers but family and friends, that they have to have their own bathroom??????
same with us, it was my and my 3 biys, sharing one bathroom, we managed.
everyone in our neighborhood managed with one bathroom for decades.....thats just the way the houses were built, you had one bathroom, becuase that's all one house needed was one bathroom....
better than an out house behind the barn.....................
Well, of course it's more desirable to have indoor plumbing than an outhouse, but you just proved the point the other poster was making. You don't NEED an indoor bathroom, but you prefer one. She doesn't NEED two bathrooms, but she prefers to have two. Just as you prefer not to take the trek outside to use the john - though it certainly wouldn't kill you, and thousands of your ancestors survived it perfectly well - she prefers not to share a bathroom with three other family members.
I never said someone had to live up or down to my standards. I just told the poster to have her kids learn to aim and shed/hed live fine if they had 1 bathroom.
I doubt that - most people, given the choice, would PREFER not to share a bathroom with two boys and a husband, even if their aim was good.
And I'm pretty sure the other family members would enjoy having fewer people sharing the bathroom for that matter.
I can't wait to put in the new backsplash in our kitchen. I've already got the material sitting in my garage!
MUCH easier to wipe down and keep clean than a painted wall in my opinion - and I prefer the way tile looks over a painted wall. But then that's just my personal opinion.

To each his or her own.
im not disagreeing with the original poster but the HGTV BS we hear all the time of what we must have.
believe me, I wish I had my own bathroom all to myself, but I just have a really good lock on the door..............................
An extra bathroom and even an extra powder room is hardly waste - to me. I don't think that means I've fallen for the wasteful HGTV culture or whatever. It means that I don't want to share a bathroom with my slobby teenage daughter or have to constantly go upstairs to use the restroom when I can have a powder room on the first floor. I'm likely in the majority in that opinion.
My very non-HGTV parents have eight bathrooms. So an extra bathroom and a half hardly merits mention.
I grew up with one bathroom.......yes I could do it again but would prefer not to. Like Kathy 2.5 bathrooms or more is what is comfortable. My husband and I prefer to have our own bathrooms.
