Having only one bathroom in a house is usually a distant memory for most. But for me, it is 100% a reality. I've heard stories about kids having their own bathrooms or husbands and wives not even using the same bathroom at home. That's just crazy. The bathroom is definitely big enough for two people and sometimes even three!
1. You're going to get really comfortable with your family.
Someone in the shower, someone on the toilet, some one brushing their teeth. There are many more combinations that I could discuss but I think you get the picture. It may seem gross, but sometimes it has to be done.
2. Scheduling is key.
Every morning we all have our set schedule. If I have to get up half hour early to go to school or a meeting I need to tell the rest of my family. Not because I need to check in with them but because that throws off the entire bathroom schedule. In bathroom etiquette, early is not appreciated. Everyone has the allotted amount of time in the bathroom- no more, no less.
3. When you gotta go you gotta go.
There will be a ton of times that you have to pee and someone is in the bathroom. You frantically pound on the door and scream at them until they get out. They may hate you for a while but that's okay.
4. There will be physical fights for the bathroom.
Imagine coming home from a long trip and you and your sibling both need to pee. There's gonna be a race/fight to the bathroom. I have been tackled, tripped, you name it, it's happened.
