In our home we have two bathrooms.
The upstairs bathroom is a bit bigger with more counter space and a bigger mirror; it is the favorite among all the children especially the teenagers. Scott and I usually take the bathroom of least resistance the smaller one downstairs. I find it makes the wait for the bathroom seem shorter if you go up and down the stairs between the two checking to see if they are still occupied. =)
We have a strict shower schedule, all the younger ones Brooklyn, Joseph, James, Jennifer and Haylee are to bathe before dinner giving the hot water heater a chance to restore and the older ones their time in the bathroom after dinner. No one except for Scott can shower in the morning.
Scott went to Arizona a few weeks ago and we really missed him.
The night before he came back Jennifer said “now we will have to share the bathroom again”.
We probably won’t ever have another bathroom but they will have lots of fun stories about sharing the two they had.
Uncle Jean said that when his kids were younger they always talked about adding on to their house and that every summer they decided to go on vacation instead. He said they don’t tell stories about the bathroom they would have had but they share lots of stories about their family trips. Yes, we have two bathrooms and surprisingly it is enough.
