I think I would rather be an only child! I had a sister growing up and she beat on me all the time. I can't stand her still to this day. She thinks she is better then everyone else and she always has to compete with whatever we do. I actually have a few friends that I consider a sister more then her.
I am a firm believer that family should stick together except in her case which is sad to say!

Yes by 3 yrs. When she turned 18 I had her arrested for battery. Of course they dropped the charges because it was family, but she did have to pay $50 to get out of jail. She never hit me again after that. I am not talking about a simple hit....she punched me so hard in the middle of my back that I lost my breath. She use to throw chairs and the vaccuum cleaner at me too when I was younger. My mom couldn't control her and was scared of her too.
To this day you can drag me around by my hair and it doesn't phase me one bit. She use to do that when I was younger too...I good go on and on...lol

I was an only child and I hated it...yet oddly enough all my friends thought how lucky I was NOT to have siblings since they said they were always fighting...I don't know if I'd want ten siblings, but certainly would have liked to have had a few

I have a sister, and we argue, but I'd rather have 10 siblings. My dad is the 15th of 16 children. You should see them all together. They are so happy to see each other and they would help one another at the drop of a hat. I know my dad gave a job to his brother when he was unemployed, one of his brothers sent him and my mom a check when he knew they were facing hard times...

I think it would depend on the situation. I only have one sibling (she's older by 2 1/2 years) and I don't keep in contact with her. In high school she was a b*tch to all that wasn't in her circle of friends (I had a couple of friends who didn't believe me until they saw it for themselves:P) and this is basically how she treated me all my life. She disowned my mom and my mom's side of the family when we were teenagers after my mom and her had a falling out and I've only seen my sister once after that (just for the record, I made the first move). I am okay with it being this way as I gave up on trying to be my sister's friend a looong ago. Even though I don't have 10 siblings, with things as they were in my family I would have preferred to have been an only child.

I grew up the only boy with 3 sisters and I wouldn't change it. If I had ten siblings, I wouldn't mind that at all. I think I would prefer that then being an only child.
I may have argued with my sisters from time to time, but I wouldn't change any of them :-)

Hmmm i guess i'll rather prefer to be in the family of ten or more siblings the more the better its actually quite fun and as i don't like loneliness i'll prefer more people around me every where and i am planning to have a team of my own with reserves aswell after marriage :D.

I would have to say the ten siblings, because I would have liked to not b an only child. My grandmother had, believe it or not, 13 siblings, of which she was the last to pass away about 2 years ago.
Goodness me, if I had to think of my poor great-grandmother, how sorry I feel! It's no wonder she passed away in her early 40's.
