I think no one should be forced to have a children's bathroom. It is a luxury that some / nowadays many can afford. We have an 8 sqm "children's bathroom" because the 2 older boys occupy their own floor and there was enough space in the attic. Otherwise, a spacious bathroom (family bathroom) would have sufficed for us as well. Moreover, some of these 3-4 sqm bathrooms can hardly be called anything more than a WC. There is usually no space for drying off, dressing, for teenage cosmetics, towels, or child-friendly furnishings.
