Dude, total word on the personal boundaries bit. My first two roommates at college were both only children, so the first six weeks involved a lot of conversations like, "No, you can't have those PopTarts; I bought them for me. No--I know you want them, but you'll have to buy your own! Hey--HEY! Drop it! Drooop iiiit! You have exactly three seconds--thank you very much, good girl. We'll get some for you the next time we're out."

	that's weird. i was an only child but i'm way more about ~~selfishly not sharing~~ keeping track of my own poptarts than taking the poptarts of others. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	::cough:: I was actually the one who ate my roomie's food, and I had three sibs, one of whom I shared a room with. We ate each other's food all the time. We squabbled a lot over who ate whose slice of cake, but it was never that big a deal to us. No grudges were held or anything. My roommate was pissed the first time I ate all her food though. whoops... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I think that depends on personality more than anything else... both of my roommates are only children and I've never shared a room before, and we're all very good at boundary-respecting. (Reply to this)(Parent)
