Increasing personal privacy has been a long term trend; it didn't start when we were young.
My father was the youngest of a large family & had much older siblings. We would sometimes visit the farm of his oldest sibling who had a lot of children but never made it into the modern age in the bathroom department. They had an outhouse...a 3 seat outhouse!
Now taking a crap right next to 2 other people would really freak me out but it was something that people back then were used to.
