If your son/daughter takes a half-hour in front of the bathroom mirror getting ready in the morning, you know a shared bathroom can become a battlefield. Compartmented bathrooms (toilet and tub/shower in one area separated by a door from the vanity and sink) or, depending on the configuration, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom (two compartmented vanity and sink areas with the toilet and tub/shower in between) eases time pressure when several members of your household are trying to get out the door on time. That way more than one person can be using the bathroom at the same time!
