Have 3 DSs - 9, 4, 3. And DH of course.
All lovely.
We live in a 3rd floor flat (3 smallish bedrooms, v nice flat with high ceilings and original features and fireplaces etc - fool that I was), with one bathroom - pretty shonky bathroom actually, didn't realise how shonky til we moved in and a big chunk of particle board came off revealing an empty space around the waste pipe going down - if you peer down the hole you can see daylight. Lovely.
All DSs using the loo now (youngest sits to pee).
There is a 'if you make a mess you clean it up' rule but I am the only enforcer and sometimes it's hard to know whose fault the stinky puddle is.
Lino is coming up around the loo!
It is HORRIBLE.
We don't have the £££ to redo the bathroom (it would be a big job as the shonky bathroom hides some major structural shonkyness). I DREAM of cutting a chunk out of our bathroom and just having a little loo of my own, just for me.
No mysterious puddles (the loo is right next to the bath so there is always that question).
No small boys who 'just can't wait' to pee.
No stinky DH who I swear has aiming issues of his own.
AND THEY DON'T FLUSH HOWEVER MANY TIMES I TELL THEM TO (youngest two are let off as the loo is shonky too of course and the flush is tempramental but no excuse for DH or DS1).
If we are ever able to move (negative equity) - it WILL be to somewhere with more than one loo.
Forget good schools or a garden. More than one loo.
