[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people are so dramatic about sharing a bathroom. But I grew up in a house with one bathroom, and in the event of a potty emergency, a basement toilet. That's how my parents grew up too (and they were from huge families). You just get in, do your business, and get out. If you take too long of a shower, you might have to deal with someone coming in to go pee while you're in there.

See if I'm taking a shower and my BIL comes in to pee, I'm not going to be very happy.  I do not stay in people's homes if I need to share a bathroom with a man who is not my husband.  [/quote]

Then don't. But for some people sharing a bathroom is NBD, [b]if people are walking in on you then there are larger boundary issues that need to be addressed,[/b] or a lock needs to be installed.[/quote]

YES!  I'm from a modest upbringing and sharing of bathrooms was definitely no big deal.  But it never - NEVER - occurred to any of us to even think about going into an occupied bathroom.  Unless you have raging diarrhea or are projectile vomiting, most other functions can wait the 5-10 minutes while someone is in the shower.   Who are these people who just walk into someones bathroom and start peeing - while someone else is in the shower?  I can't believe that grown adults would do this, related or not.[/quote]
