I live in a property with 4 people. Me, friend, and new roommate w/ his son. Another guy used to live in the living space new roommate lived but he moved out recently. There are three floors and we each take the living space. So outside of going to the kitchen or coming and going we really don't see each other and that's if someone is in the kitchen. My friend lives in the ground floor living area but there is a wall separating him and the kitchen. So we are roommates but we kind of do our own thing. I hardly see the new roommate and the kid. We each have our own bathroom as well.

We all buy our own food and don't share. We even have a roommate agreement that the only communal thing in the house is things like paper towels and napkins. All our food is buy your own. I never lived in a house/apartment where people ate each other's food. If I didn't buy it I don't touch it. And I've lived in this place for 3 years and never had issue. Everyone ate their own food. Shortly after he moved in we'd all get texts like "can I use some sugar?" "Can I use an egg?" and this was odd to us because if we're out we just go to the store and decide something else. However I also am not a selfish jerk and if someone wants an egg or two or a spoon of sugar, go ahead. He always asks first.

This became an issue when he asked if anyone had real milk. I only drink almond milk with my cereal/drinks. I'm not lactose intolerant I just prefer the taste. This kept up because his kid likes to eat cereal before school and when they ran out of milk he'd ask me. The kid is allergic to nuts. My roommate doesn't drink any milk so there is just my almond milk. He seemed upset at me that I only had almond milk.

Apparently this kid is allergic to A LOT of things. I got wings from a place and put leftovers in the fridge. Then got an angry text saying the kid ate the wings and the sauce contained something he is allergic to. I told him sorry and that people shouldn't eat food that isn't theirs. Another time I made brownies with peanut butter and fudge and left them on the counter the cool. He said his had one in his hand and was going to eat one but he stopped him quickly. He said I need to be more careful about what I "leave out." I said someone else eating food that isn't theirs. My friend is allergic to shellfish and I eat shellfish and we've never had an issue. I get he's a kid but I shouldn't have to hide my food or label what food contains for what I make for MYSELF

EDIT

The kid was fine after eating the wings. Small reaction/stomach ache. But he's majorly allergic to nuts
