You are right--it was typical in decades past. We have an older friend, who grew up in a house like ours with 5 kids and 1 bathroom. That was the way it was and they learned how to share. That said, Mike is up against 3 girls. He admits that he's looking forward to having his own bathroom when we move! We've considered adding a room behind the kitchen and it would be easy to put another bathroom in there. In the 7 years we've been here, it has really been a non-issue. CiCi It’s been ok!

Amazing how times have changed. In the 50s and early 60s most homes in many of these "middle class" neighborhoods that have become more "upper class" neighborhoods today only had one bath - some builders managed to put in a little half bath in the master bedroom and in some they even put in a little shower. A little shower. I suspect they took out a little closet to put in the little shower. Most probably would have preferred the extra closet. Most of the closets weren't exactly walk-ins. I guess Ozzie and Harriet only had one bathroom. Today they would probably have 1.5 bathrooms for every bedroom. Or maybe even 2. And of course walk-ins. Lots of walk-ins. Some even in the bathrooms. Nothing like a walk-in linen closet. Lynn Park by the way is a wonderful neighborhood. Even with one bathroom. I have to ask if you outgrew the one bathroom? Amazing how times have changed.
