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

But it's not a guest bathroom is it? It's theirs...

Slap all your children. Then make sure they use their Summer holidays to build their own bathrooms. If the bathrooms don't meet building reg standards then drop them all down a well and let them find their own way out.

p.s. But seriously, either find a compromise, or tell them to get over it.

I'd have to buy the house next door and have every room made into a bathroom for us all to have our own.

They are lucky they are not all 3 in the same room.. spoiled selfish little beastlets.. I'd tell them they were free to move out and have their own and pay for it themselves too!

Makes me glad to have mine whispering and giggling after lights out.. I have 3 in the bath together most times!!!

As a child I not only had to share a bathroom with my siblings, but also my bathwater (not at the same time though - one would go in after the other and the last one would get the cold scummy water)!!!!! I really don't understand this fascination for an en-suite and wouldn't want one myself. There's no way I'd want DH using an en-suite and having his smells follow him back into the bedroom :eek::eek::eek:

They is obviously posh
Prolly have " guest towels" as well, you know the ones that hang there looking nice not allowed to be used?

The bathroom for use by anyone where I live is called the "FAMILY" bathroom. For use by all family members

wow seriously? We have a 3-bedroom house, and one bathroom, thats it. we don't need any more, and if someone's using it, you just have to wait (or bang on the door to be let in if you're desperate :rotfl:).

Is this a wind up?
If not, then changing bedrooms yearly may be the answer. Or extra duties for the one who has the ensuite?

No. From what I've seen of Tods posting on DT this is most definately a wind up

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.

My daughters share a bedroom! And there is no chance of an extension being built without a lottery win.......!

The nearest I have ever been to having an en-suite/second bathroom was a holiday caravan we spent a week in at Primrose Valley a few years ago!:rotfl::rotfl:

Its because the older one has a private bathroom, but the other two have to share the guest bathroom

We don't have a guest bathroom in our house - most three bedroom semis don't, though, so I don't think I'm missing out.

Seriously, though, we have a downstairs wetroom for my disabled son, as well as an upstairs bathroom. Other family members have been known to use the loo, basin and shower in the wetroom, and as it is just off the hall (not accessed via a bedroom), visitors use the wetroom instead of going upstairs if they need the loo.

This thread must be a windup - it made me laugh :rotfl:
