[quote=Anonymous]I had friends in my 20s and early 30s who were aghast at me having roommates. But they largely had lots of family money or at least a tri-state guarantor (NYC people will remember what I’m talking about- it’s changed so much now and is way easier!). I lived with roommates from freshman year of college until I was 31, and then I lived with DH. There have been times when I’ve longed for my own space, but I had so much fun with 95% of my roommates and my life was better for them. I grew up in a house with a mentally ill sibling and depressed mom and autistic dad, so I think that part of me was just happy with the novelty of sharing space with people who weren’t dangerous, withdrawn or unpredictable. Anyway, I think roommates are really important and it’s one of the things I use to screen college babysitters. If they’ve had at least 1-2 years of group living situations, I know they’ll be more adaptable and attentive to others’ needs. And more fun![/quote]
