The bathroom in my parents house was in the worst place possible!

The bathroom was in between my sister's room and my parents room.

My sister's did not want me going through their room because they said I was a pervert in trying to do so.

My parents did not want me going through their room because they said I might take their gun or their money.

Late at night I would sometimes go out to the backyard to pee or poop and my parents would freak out and beat me because they said I might have let in a burglar.

I would also sometimes pee in a bottle in my room and my parents would again punish me because they said I was being disgusting.

My family sucks.

I hate when the bathroom is only accessible from a bedroom.
I guess its ok when its a kids bathroom thats set between two kids bedrooms. But any other configuration is just a pain.

One of the nice things about my moms townhouse was the half bath on the first floor, half bath on the second floor, and full bath on the third floor that was right there when you came up the stairs.

It seems kinda weird to have the master bedroom share a bathroom with another room. Maybe this is common in more dense areas?

I've seen it in really nice homes with very nice bedrooms and bathrooms. People wanna go all out with a fancy bathroom that has nice fixtures and details. They like the idea of one really nice bathroom.
I like the opposite, would rather have a small simple bathroom for every member of the house. I share a lot but after 9 years in the Navy I do not share a poop throne or rain locker.

Have you ever wondered why they put the laundry room in the farthest corner of the house, far away from the bedrooms? I have noticed in new houses they have the laundry room right next to the bedrooms. So you don't have to carry your clothes all the way through the house.

I took a dump in your parents backyard last night and they didn't complain about it.

This drives me nuts! My house is exactly like this. At first I thought maybe because of plumbing layout but there's lines running throughout to get to bathrooms/showers etc. The worst is when all the rooms are upstairs, and laundry is downstairs. Now I'm seeing laundry rooms upstairs with all the rest of the rooms. Wish we had that at our old house.

Some people have their laundry room upstairs? Wouldn't that be kind of loud? I guess it does make it easier to bring laundry. When I was looking at houses there was this one house where they moved their washer and dryer to a spare bedroom that they converted into a laundry room as they were disabled and it was hard for them to do the walk up and down all the time.

Our old house was that way, bedrooms upstairs, laundry room downstairs. It was a PITA.

We moved into a one story and even here the laundry is far away from the master bedroom.

Yep. In new houses they have the laundry room right next to the bedrooms. That would be ideal if you have a two story house. We thought about moving it upstairs in our old house, but never did that.

No, the worst is when you have a broken hose or a sewer backup or any of 1000 other problems that arise when something using a lot of water goes wrong. Laundry rooms were put in basements for really intelligent, practical purposes, to protect the living spaces from floods and noise. Only the monumentally lazy would try to do it differently. Walk up and down some stairs once in a while. It's good for you and it beats having the laundry room on the banks of the only river in town.

Yea this is true. If a leak were to spring upstairs from the washer that would suck immensely. Personally, if I were to move again and was looking for a 2 story house, I'd be looking for the master/laundry downstairs. The kids can haul their clothes up and down.

I had my laundry tub drain get blocked once (forgot a rag in there) so when it drained it flooded part of the basement. Definitely would not have one that happening on the main floor. :eek: Though it still sucked in the basement since I have drycore throughout, that is not really meant to get wet. I eventually need to put vinyl or something and maybe create a bit of a containment in case of leak as it can happen again.

I have a family member with a house that has two bathrooms that are only accessible from a bedroom. It's kind of awkward when visiting. The layout of the house makes me think it has been changed several time over the years.
