How important is it for the kids to have their own bathroom?

My kids all have their own rooms , but only one has an en suite, the others are complaining that having to share the guest bathroom is an issue :(

    I'd tell them to get on with it. How many children do you know with en suites?

    Stick their heads down the en suite loo and pull the flush!

    I'd suggest with complaints like that its very important for them NOT to have their own bathrooms, learn to share and to be grateful for the wonderful home you are providing for them.

    I shared a bedroom with my sister and a bathroom with my sister and my parents and consider this completely normal.

    As an adult I have shared a house with up to eight people with only one bathroom, and one separate downstairs toilet. I trhink up to five people is perfectly normal.

    Its incredibly important that they all have their own bathrooms. I suggest you start building an extension asap before the neighbours report you to social services.

    Or you could just take them out on the lifeboat and give them a dunk in the Bristol Channel.

    Now I feel like I fell into a trap, surely this is a joke? :p

    Seriously?

    i would have loved my own bathroom when i was a kid. I remember fondly locking myself in our shared bathroom to read, when i wanted to escape my brother and sister and our shared bedroom!!
