And, in other news, in most US homes the parents have large bedrooms with attached bathrooms and kids have smaller bedrooms with shared bathrooms. Oh, the humanity!!!
You must tell us where you are from where the adults drive Toyotas and their kids Mercedes.
What you said might make sense if it were for the basic needs of life (i.e. the bread scenario you point out), but when you devolve into material items of where kids sleep on a cruise ship it becomes a bit silly.
