"That's Ridiculous" - AITA For Taking A Shower At 7:30 Everyday And Disregarding Dad's Suggestion
“I have a morning routine"
It is very natural to question whether one bathroom will be sufficient for everybody in the future, regardless of how quickly your family is growing. This includes whether you should remodel your house, whether you might need your own private areas, or just whether you should sell your house and hunt for a larger one.
The answer to this question is that it is feasible for four people to use a single bathroom; this is a daily occurrence in some, if not all, other countries. Whether something like this is realistic or practical, though, largely relies on your individual household and personal circumstances.
This is the reason why many people shudder when they see a house with just one bathroom. However, many property buyers, particularly younger ones, could come across listings with just one bathroom and have to consider this unsettling possibility: Is a single bathroom sufficient?
If you're single or in a tight relationship, it can seem OK, but how will this work if you have children or visitors? This is what the OP of today's story is dealing with.
OP always takes their shower at the exact same time every morning and is usually in the bathroom for about 20 minutes. Before the OP takes a shower, they let everyone who’s awake know and give them the opportunity to use the bathroom, but this was about to cause a big problem.
OP wants to know if they're an AH for taking a shower every day at 7:30
RedditOP's dad is throwing a fit about it

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:
I believe I may be the AH for taking so long in the bathroom. I use the bathroom, shave, shower, and brush my teeth. But I try to be as quick as I possibly can and I go out of my way to ensure no one needs the bathroom BEFORE I go in. It don’t think it’s my fault that someone ends up needing to use the bathroom after I go in. Maybe just don’t drink your coffee yet?? Like, am I crazy??The OP also left this edit later on...
adding some extra info here, I USED to take a shower at 7:45, so I’ve already pushed my time back by 15 minutes, but then I am still in there until around 7:45-7:50 so…The comments roll in...

Showering that long?

Of course, the number of bedrooms is crucial when it comes to real estate listings, but the number of bathrooms comes in second. Let's be honest: When things become tight, guests may sleep on a couch and siblings can share a bedroom.
However, only one person can use the restroom at a time. So while OP's situation is understandable, other people in the family have to be considered as well.
