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.

    In my entire life, I’ve never lived or stayed in a home that could do even two whole showers back to back, and most places I’ve lived have had water heaters that looked just like that one. The norm, in my experience, is for the warm water to run out just as the first person finishes showering, and for each additional person to wait 30 minutes to an hour for there to be enough hot water for another shower.
