I'm not arguing against having as many bathrooms or bedrooms as you
want. Of course it's convenient even for people who are not suffering
from cancer, chronic diarrhea, terminal narsicism, or their visitors.
I know how much time people can spend in the bathroom; I had brothers.

I'd like another bathroom too... and another dishwasher and a pantry.

I'm not suggesting that you all share the same bed either. Just
pointing out that in addition to having to share beds/bedrooms,
sometimes multiple people had to get by with -oh shock!- one bathroom
and my how things have changed.
