Does anyone think that bathrooms should not be next to bedrooms?

[2aguy]

I was thinking about this the other day. I know the convenience of having a bathroom connected to a bedroom. The problem that I have with it is this......the bathroom smells are right there......then, you also have the issue of an over flowing toilet right next to, and possibly leaking into, your bedroom. I would much rather have a bathroom down the hall, as inconvenient as that might be at night....

Im glad my master bedroom has a bathroom right there.
I do agree about the leaks though. I recently had to tear up the carpet in my bedroom because of a leak.

Doesn't matter to me because I can always open the window and pee outside

I want as short a walk in the middle of the night as possible

Proper active venting takes care of the odor issue, and leaks will **** things up regardless of where they are in the house.

But a 10 foot dash for a clench run instead of a 40 foot one? Priceless.

My late husband had issues with joint pain and frequent need of the bathroom, so he felt the same way.

I rarely take a crap in the middle of the night
My toilet overflows about once every ten years

I get up to pee every night

I like both locations. The en suite is very convenient for the shower proximity to the bedroom. Then the one down the hall is a full bathroom with a bathtub and shower. I have to have my baths, rub-a-dub-dub!

I cut a new door in, so I didn't have to walk through the living room to get to the bathroom at night. No problem with odors as I don't poop in the middle of the night. Toilet has not overflowed in 40 years (I always keep an eye on it when flushing).

I second this. You never know when you may have to get up and barf.

God bless you always!!!

What if there is a moose outside and it bites it

Almost happened once. Turned out it was my ex-wife dressed as a moose.

We don't have moose, but we do have bears. They play whack a pee pee!

how about you flush the toilet and get rid of the smell??

Doesn't always work. Sometimes, some people have really powerful poop, and the smell clings to the walls.

close the door

close the door

That makes it worse, the smell gets trapped and it reverberates within the tiny room.
