Don’t forget Friends. Gen-X TV kid here, and pop culture taught me that having roommates is fun! The reality of it wasn’t always fun, but it’s good for learning how to compromise and coexist with other humans. I hate the thought of young people just hiding away by themselves with their screens.[/quote]

I don't actually think it is great to coexist within a home/apartment. Coexisting is hard even with families. I have a teen ds who wakes up at 5am...wakes me up. Dh goes to bed way too late...wakes me up. Sharing chores and various levels of comfort with cleanliness and clutter is hard as well. Compromise is sort of a myth when it comes to one's bio rhythms and habits: someone always sacrifices more and gets to experience discomfort. I live with it just fine because it's my family and I love them. Roommates I don't love? No, it would drive me crazy. [/quote]

Did you ever have roommates before you were married and had a family?[/quote]

Yes and I did not like it: one was too loud including at night, some would bicker about cleaning constantly. I ended up doing it to keep the peace. Another one had some pretty huge personal issues I helped her navigate bc she had no family or friends in the us. [/quote]
