Do you have brothers and sisters?

Hi Everyone, do you have brothers and sisters? If so how many? I am the only child and I would of loved to have any brothers or sisters. Do you know anyone who is the only child? I had my second child so my daughter would not be the only child.

I have two brothers, one older and one younger. As the girl in the middle I probably did wish to be an only child at times. But I love my brothers and they both turned out to be pretty good guys.

Yes, I have sisters and brothers. I have one biological sister. And I have two step brother's. This is from my dad's current marriage. I have been told that I have two half sisters. These half sisters came from my dad's previous relationship with women that he dated, but never married. So, altogether that makes, 6 children that were all created by my father.

Thanks for your response. My dad also has other children but I have never met some of them and don't think I will. I don't even know how many half brothers and sisters I have but I have met one and we are in contact through facebook!

I am the oldest out of 6, I have 4 brothers and one sister. and it was fun growing up, their was always some one their to talk to or to help. It was never quiet, and always full of activity. We also have 8 children 3 girls, and 5 boys. the three girls are the oldest. They are now all grown and out on their own, so it is just me and my husband left at home now and it is so quiet sometimes. My oldest daughter has 4 children, the next one down has 1, the next one down has 2, the next one down has 3, and the next one down has 1 but they are trying for # 2, and the youngest 3 are either in collage, and or are not in a relationship permanent relationship yet. so down the road i'm expecting to have some more . My oldest grandson is turning 15 this year.

I have four brothers and one sister. Unfortunately we are not very close so dont see each other very often. It doesn't always work out if you have brothers and sisters but it is nice you had two children.

Thanks for your response. Maybe one day you will be close to your brothers and sister:)

here, here! I am an only child myself and when I was little, I also wished for a brother (an older brother, at that!) I only have one child at the moment and I want her to experience the joy of having siblings. Not that I didn't like being an only child but I think it would have been nice to have borthers or sisters.

Hi, thanks for your response. Wow your an only child, I have never known anyone who is the only child. Everyone I know has a brother or sister! I agree it would be nice for your child to have a brother or sister:)

I have a younger sister and a younger brother. It is very nice to have siblings. My cousin has only one son and feel always lonely to be the only kid in the family. It is good to have more than one kids.

as u are only child , u are lonely in house with playing and damaging things in house.just kidding. but lonelyness in horrible i think. we should have atleast one brother or sister. in my relatives or friends there is no lonely child and i gets fear if i feel what would be for me ,if i am a lonely child. i have one sister and one brother. i am in the middle of them ,by birth . my sister in elder than me,big than me .and brother younger than me. but my brother and me studied in one class from preschool to till our studies ended. my sister understand me more . she is number one cook to me ,when i attends to their house ,she put more and more recipes to me. and she is good in shopping. she selects best clothes to me . she can mingle with any person closely.but i can;t . my brother is less talkative than me.but some fightings is there in childhood days with him. and now i want to get more children,so i am in starting stage to produce children.

Hi, thanks for your response. Some of my friends used to say when I was younger that I was lucky to be the only child but as they got older I think they felt lucky to have a brother or sister.
