How many gallons / litres is your home water heater?

We live in a suburban 4 bedroom detached home. I find that after my wife and kid shower, I’m stuck showering in cold water.

Are they using too much water or is my water heater just not big enough?

Edit: not my photo. We currently have a 50gal tank.

    Really? A home water heater doesn’t do 3 showers back to back to back? For the record that’s just a stock photo. We actually have a 50Gal. I just feel like when I was a kid growing up at my parents house, our heater could easily handle 7-8 showers in a row when we had relatives staying with us. Thanks for the reply!

      Is it electeic or gas? Have you flushed it recently? What is the temperature set to? Does the hot water have a smell? It may simply be time to replace it. They dont last forever.
