Are you an only child?

Hi, no i was not the only child and i consider myself lucky for that, as i always had my younger sister for company, who is just two years younger than me. I have a cousin who is the only child of her parents. We have grown up together as she is my age, but she was always lonely and would want another sibling as a brother or sister, jsut for the sake of company. She was always the cranky kinds and thoroughly spoilt as well, as her parents , in order to keep her quiet, got her everthing that she ever wanted, thus spoiling her. I also strongly believe that a single child looses out on company of another sibling, and all that brother and sisters share and do with each othr as well. I think that we as parents ought to give a thought to that, for the sake of our kids and have a second baby too. We at times feel that there are other kids around, who can provide the company to that single child and we as parents are also there for them etc. But we dont realise that other kids and we ourselevs are there just for a few hours and limited time only, but another sibling is always there for so many hours, always with them. Another thing is that no matter what life shows us, and after us too, at least we are rest assured that the child will have her brother or sister alwasy by her side. There are others who may differ, as each person has their own choices and prefernces too, and may feel that being single is better too as we have all the things to ourselevs and no one to fight etc,but i think its only healthy to fight and share and care with another sibling too. They miss another child most when they are young, and when they are married off, maybe they are alright, though am sure, from within they must be nmissing having a true, real brother or sister.

I have an elder brother.. We both love each other a lot, and I also respect him for all that he has achieved in his life... We have always been there for each other in the thick of times, and our growing days were full of fun.. We used to play in the sand a lot, and go ice skating.. I still remember those days...

thankfully i am not an only child i have two half brothers but i only really knoe one. i would have been really lonely growing up. my little cousin is a only child and he seems to be a little brat he dont really like to share and really gets his own way i think that is only because there is no one else to bug.

I was not lonely child while I was growing up as I am not the only kid in the house. I go two brothers elder than me and no sisters. One brother is 6 years older and the other is 8 years older than me. When I was growing up I never felt lonely as all of kept each other busy. We used to watch cartoons, WWF together, play computer and card games together.

Most of the only children that I knew always wanted siblings. I personally have a brother and two sisters, and even though we fought a lot as kids, I do think it was good for me to have them. I learned quite a bit about being an adult and responsibility by helping my mom take care of them, as I was the oldest.

Yes, I am an only child. When I was a kid, I did get lonely sometimes,and I did want a brother or sister. I did have an active imagination, though, and created my own. lol Now, that I'm older, and have people around me, all the time, I miss those times by myself. I love being alone. It doesn't happen very often though.

Sorry I'm the oldest out of 4 kids..And I wished I was the only child when I was young..But now since us three out of the four are grown up and have our own lives I love have siblings...We are always talk,hanging out,doing things with our kids...I love being the older sister now!

Hi nikkiwith! I am the only daughter and I have two younger brothers. I am very close with my brothers but i think it is still would be kinda fun if I have a sister. Sometimes, it gets lonely when I can't play with my brothers when we were young because they don't like dolls. Take care and have a nice day!
