My sister and I are both in our 20s and still live at home with parents, neither of us are in the financial position to move out. We both pay rent/keep. All 4 of us (5 with the boyfriend included) all share a single bathroom, which means in the morning it's already like a military operation to ensure that there is enough time to get in the bathroom before we all start work. However, with her boyfriend staying it's another person that needs to get in there and he ends up using my 'slot' which means I have to get up earlier at 5:45am.
Her boyfriend stays over every week night as he lives further out from his job, so by staying he shaves off 40 minutes of his commuter.
AIBU to think 5 adults trying to get in the bathroom before 8am is too many?
AIBU?
To wish that my sister's boyfriend didn't stay over all week?

I don't really know her boyfriend as it's still a fairly new relationship, and I still see him as a 'guest' so I wouldn't want him to have to get up earlier. It should be my sister but she won't get up any earlier and my parents use the bathroom from 6-7 (and obviously they get first dibs as it's their house, I fit around them).
My parents agree with me and I think they're secretly frustrated by it too but would never say anything!
