You Don’t Need Nine Bathrooms

… And by the word ‘you’ in the title of this post, I mean no one. No one needs nine bathrooms.Why did I pick the number nine? No reason. It’s a random number to represent all the people living in homes with at least double the number of bathrooms than humans living there.

Mansions are weird. Like, so many people own them who aren’t even married. I can’t help but think how 1) Lonely and 2) Creeped Out I would feel living by myself in a sprawling estate. It might be fun for a minute. Like, if I won the lottery and was able to design my dream home. Being beachfront would definitely be a huge perk. And having my own pool, hot tub, tennis courts, library, and massive home gym would be lovely.

But, still.

The builder would inevitably want to include 9 bathrooms with at least as many bedrooms and,well -while I do know that many people -I don’t want to be around that many people very often. Have y’all heard the saying that goes something like ‘I want you to eat, just not at my table.’

Yeah, that.

Our society swings wildly between extravagance and minimalism. And boy did society jump off the minimalism deep end with the invention of tiny homes. In keeping with my favorite mantra of ‘everything in moderation,’ let’s keep our homes somewhere between ‘I can’t find the front door’ and I have to step over my dead spouse to get to the front door.’

Soaring divorce rates? Yeah, let’s all live in tiny homes. Single? I have the perfect 9-bathroom estate for you…
