use one exclusively or do you just use whichever one is handy when nature calls? I live alone in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house. One bathroom is off the hallway and the other is in my bedroom. You have to walk through my bedroom to get to it and you can't even tell it's there unless you're in my bedroom. This is my bathroom and the only one I use. No one else ever uses my bathroom and I don't want anyone else to. It's mine. I walk past the main bathroom to get to mine and even in an emergency situation, I still only use my bathroom. I've lived in my house for almost 3 years and the only time I go in the other bathroom is to clean it. I've been wondering if that's odd or not and knew the peas would have no qualms telling me if it is. You know, it's one of those odd things you wonder about from time to time  So, what do you think, am I weird? |

I am like you. We have three bathrooms and I exclusively use the master bath. DH will use whichever is closest, but not me. I like my bathroom.

Our ensuite toilet is almost never used unless the other is occupied. It has a longer drain/refill time. Weird I know. DH will actually go to the main bath in the middle of the night to go.

We have four bathrooms, and I've posted this before, but we don't use the powder room on the main level. We always go upstairs and use the bathrooms up there, or the one in the basement if we're down there. I want the powder room to always be clean and available for people who are over.

I have 4 total. Master and another on second floor, one on main level and one in the basement. I'm way too lazy to go upstairs so the first floor one gets used the most.

We have a small shower room downstairs which is 'Dh's...as in he uses it each morning to get ready to work, all his stuff is in there etc.....but it's also the guest bathroom. The family/main bathroom is upstairs and it's 'mine'. I tend to go upstairs mainly, even if I'm downstairs and just need a wee....but not always.

We have 4 and I'll use whatever's closest...except the boys bathroom. It's got to be an insane emergency for me to use their bathroom because no matter how often I clean it, it just feels gross.

This is how I feel about my main bathroom. It is for guests and I know it's always clean for them. |

I prefer not to use the downstairs half bath. I don't have any particular reason why. I just rather go upstairs to use the bathroom.

I prefer to use the master bath, even though it is the furtherest away. The other folks seem to prefer the half bath for some reason.

I have two. I only ever use my bathroom. I have used the hall bathroom once in the 2 1/2 years I've lived here, and that's because I was on a conference call and could not step away from my office for more than a few seconds, and the hall bathroom is right next door. I actually carried my phone to the bathroom (on mute, of course), but I felt like I couldn't be away from my computer for the length of time it would take me to walk to my bathroom.
I've had two bathrooms in all but one of the homes I've lived in as an adult. Always used "my" bathroom exclusively. XH was weird about using both bathrooms, and by weird I mean if he got up in the middle of the night, he would sometimes use my son's bathroom on the other side of the house instead of the master bath that was on the other side of the bed from him.

We have three bathrooms. Two are used frequently. The third bathroom is in the main hallway, but no one claims it. It is the pooping bathroom. If anyone is planning on a lengthy "sit," they use that bathroom since it has plenty of time to "breathe" and doesn't affect the rest of us close to a bathroom.

If anyone is planning on a lengthy "sit," they use that bathroom since it has plenty of time to "breathe" and doesn't affect the rest of us close to a bathroom. But the real question is, do you keep reading material in there?  We have one full & one 1/2. The full bath on the main floor is the one that gets used the most. I only use the 1/2 bath in our finished basement if I'm down there scrapping or watching a movie on the big TV. Men in my family are REQUIRED to use that bathroom to do their 'business' because when it was installed, I had no say in the height of the toilet and I find it too high. No one but me seemed to think it was a big deal to pay attention to the height of the toilet, so if I find anyone sitting in the upstairs bathroom, there's hell to pay. You wanted that damn toilet, now you sit on it! |

My house is probably similar to the OP's (2 bedroom and 2 bath + office). I mostly use the bathroom in the master suite, but the 2nd bathroom is close to both the office and the extra bedroom, which is my craft room (when it's not a guest room), so I do use that bath when I am closer. I've never showered or taken a bath in there though. DH seems to prefer that bathroom for some reason

I only use the master bath and the bathroom on the main level. (because I am not walking up the stairs just to pee)
The bathroom in the basement can only handle liquid waste...so even when we have guests over in the basement, we have to tell them that no one is allowed to poop in the basement. (which always gets a laugh...but that's a bit of a way to make that announcement a bit less awkward)

We have 3 bathrooms, two are off the hall one in our bedroom. I frequently use one of the hall baths if I'm in the family room or kitchen. In the morning and night I use the ensuite. My DH does the same. It's really only another few steps to go to our bedroom, I guess we are really, really lazy. |

We have three full baths and one powder room on two floors. The full bath in the basement is pretty much only used by my husband when he's down there in his office/workroom. We both use the master bath when on that end of the house and the powder room when on the other end. The kids' bathroom is only used by them and overnight guests for the most part.

I don't think you're weird at all. We have 3 full and 1 half bathrooms. DH and I use the master bath exclusively. The hall bathroom is used by guests, the upstairs bathroom by overnight guests, and the half bath in the laundry is not used by anyone.

We have 2, a master and guest. The guest is off the guest hall close to the kitchen and living room. I use it more than the master. DH is the opposite.

Whichever is closest. We have three and I use the master or the one on the first floor. I never use the "kids" bathroom.
But...I am really uncomfortable with other people using the master bath (besides DH). I've used it for the kids when they were babies but once they are showering on their own I prefer them to use their own bathroom. I really, really don't want to share my bathroom with guests.

I have to walk past the hall bathroom to get to mine, but that's what I have done every time except once.

we have two - an en suite and a main one in the hallway near the other bedrooms (single storey house)
the children use the main one almost exclusively (unless someone is using it already). DH uses the en suite exclusively. I make a point of using the main one at least once or twice a day so I can check on the cleanliness since it's also the one I direct visitors to

We have six bathrooms (crazy), and I use three regularly. The one in our guest room isn't used unless we have guests, and I don't go into the two kids' bathrooms.

We have one main toilet and bathroom, then the one in our en suite. I pretty much always use the one in my en suite. . I make a point of using the main one at least once or twice a day so I can check on the cleanliness since it's also the one I direct visitors to That's good thinking Linda! |

So, what do you think, am I weird?
