How many bathrooms do you have with how many kids ? I have 7 people in the house and 1 bathroom plus the bathroom is my laundry room too since my house is lacking a laundry room. I'm so overwhelmed living like this. Anyone else live in a small house, little space with a family of kids? Tell me how?

It’s tough - until recently I lived in a 1.5 bedroom apartment with 4 kids and one bathroom. The kids learned that if they needed to sit for long it was best to make sure no one else needed the bathroom. If not we would have someone in the bathroom and another whining that he needs it ASAP! It became second nature to do that. Bh we recently moved to a bigger house.
My brother has 7 kids (so a family of 9) and they also only have one bathroom. I can’t even imagine how they manage that!

We are a family of 7. Til now we had 2 1/2 baths and it wasn't enough. The screaming and yelling. Plus one bathroom has the washing machine in it and I have teens who can literally spend 45 minutes on the toilet and make me crazy when I have a load to switch.
We just added 2 more full baths. Much more pleasant atmosphere.

I have 3 teen boys plus husband ( no girls) so I'm the only female sharing bathroom with 4 male in the house, actually 1 little kid. I'm embarrassed to even write this. It's hard. Oh and plus laundry piled up in the bathroom. Sometimes stinky clothes.
Why am I coming here instead of looking into a bigger house??
We're actually planning to move in the next year . I will just have to push it through.
P.s. I think little kids sharing 1 bathroom is a little more manageable, than big big male sharing bathrooms

6 of us, 1 bathroom which also has laundry machines in it because there's nowhere else to put them. b"H my kids are learning to be patient and wait their turn and ask others if they need to go before they shower etc. Toilet training can be challenging, but it's doable.

Family of 5 with 3 bathrooms and a separate laundry room. We have a couple of people who tend to spend long periods of time in the bathroom and I have no idea how that would work with only 1 bathroom.

Family of 9, 3 1/2 bathrooms. Separate laundry room.
It feels like a lot, that there should always be an available bathroom when needed. Somehow I still manage to have a kid that need to go NOW while 3 kids are in showers and someone is using the powder room. This is our regular Friday afternoon drama. I try staggering shower times.

We're actually looking to move soon and I'm firm that we need at least 2 bathrooms- small family with not even potty trained kids.

Family of 7 with 6 bathrooms. Most of my kids will only use one bathroom so we still end up with whining outside the door. Kids

2 bathrooms for a family of 5. I keep thinking of my neighbors that have 11 kids & 1 bathroom and I'm thankful for my 2. Their boys pee in the woods in the backyard....

I'm amazed how families manage with 1 bathroom. Hope nobody has IBS or similar issue. I don't know how I could ever do it.
