my outlets in the bathroom are in series on a GFCI circuit starting in the downstairs bathroom. so if something trips the out let in my bathroom, I have to go downstairs to reset it. is that normal?

I have two outlets in my bathroom and because they are all in series, there are two wires connected to the first outlet, one from the downstairs bathroom, and one to the other outlet. then the second outlet has one from the first outlet then another to the third floor bathroom. so both outlets have two sets of wires attached.

my main question is, I can't seem to find outlets with USB that have two sets of connections. every outlet with built in USB seems to not support series connections. anyone know if they exist? now that everything in the world is USB and barely comes with the actual plugs, I'd like to have some built-in usb ports in the bathroom

nevermind, figured it out. just need to replace the non-GFCI outlets in the circuit with actual GFCI outlets with usb built in. more convenient, too. don't have to go downstairs if it trips. dunno why this isn't standard practice. guess because the GFCI outlets cost more and builders are cheap.
