Did you ever wish you were an only child?

I have two sisters and we always have great time together. When we were younger we would always have some petty quarrels but never have I wished to be an only child.

Never..we are 9 and am the eldest and we had wonderful times..if she feels neglected..she may have been even if she had been a only child. There is more than meets the eye..as you don't hate your siblings to that point. She may just want more attention than them..well won't get into that..too complicated..

I hope I have siblings, because one is so alone! Maybe sometimes you maybe a little neglected, however, you will feel more attention from other ones not only the love of parents!

I also wished i was an only child cause i'd get lots of stuff!!! and being in the middle (we're three) it's like you're not noticed and being the GOOD SON isn't that easy either both of my brothers are spoiled...... one of them made my mother cry......

A good topic for us! Thank you! I have one brother and two sisiters, and I am the elder brother. To tell the truth, it is wonderful to have silbings because there are so many things to share with us when parents can't help! But now I am so far from my brother and sisters. We can't see each other until December.Fortunately the net and phone can make us keep in touch and communicate heart-to-heart. I miss them so much!Wish them happy and make progress in study! Also Good luck to you!

I am the only child in my family,sometimes when i went home i feel lonely^ I hope i can have a sibing ,just one ,no more.

hi elmolovesu! well, i guess i did wish that when i was younger, when i was a kid. i was 8.5 years old when i had my younger brother. or i mean, when my mother had my younger brother. lol anyway, we used to fight a lot while we were growing up, despite the age difference. i wanted so much to have a sister, but when he turned out to be a brother, things changed. but now, we are sooo close that i wouldn't exchange being an only child for my brother. i love him sooo much! when i was single and we were still living together in one house, i would buy him stuff. he would often come to me and if i can afford it, i would buy his favorite things that my parents could not afford to buy or would not buy for him. during his last year in college when his educational plan was cancelled because the company closed, i was the one who spent for his remaining year. anyway, i am glad that i have a brother. God has a purpose for him take care and God bless you! happy mylotting! :D

My little brother and I had a 10-year gap so I could say I experienced being an only child for a while. It's really nice to be one 'cause, you know, you're the center of attention of your parents and back then, they always give me what I want, toys, sweets and stuff. But, then 10 years after came my brother and I must admit, that I felt a little jealousy 'cause what was I'm thinking back then, I was only 10. Eventually, I had gotten over it and realized that it's fun to have a sibling 'cause you have someone to talk about childish stuff, get to argue things with like the TV's remote, toys which is fun actually and I enjoy the company. To answer your question, I don't wish to be just an only child. Our parents treated us equally so I've no problem with that.

I think that comes in all of us specially when we're younger and our parents couldn't really give us everything we want and we had to 'share' with our siblings. You know how kids are, we are actually selfish. On the other hand, our parents always see to it that they treat everyone fairly, much to the dismay of other siblings hoping to have something 'more'. Yes, I did have that type of mindset when I was younger. Well, sometimes I even get to wonder what it would be like if I was the only child. But, I also have thoughts of 'what if I had a sister?', I may not be an only child, but I'm an only daughter. I don't think she is neglected. I think the child just wants to be a princess, and she can't because everyone else wanted to be one. hehehe... Tell her that if she were alone, she'd have no one to boss around and she's have to do everything her mom and dad will say without question. Unlike when you're not alone (or have siblings) you could play as a team and have lots of fun!

Hi... I grew up with three siblings, an elder sister, elder brother and a younger sister. And we had a very happy childhood. There were times we had sibling rivalries, our mini-wrestling match (this happened most of the time between me and younger sister), the usual bickerings, misunderstandings. But I will never ever change those years for a single wish that I was an only child. Sure, our growing up years were mixed with laughter, tears, disputes, and some very serious arguments that made us not speak to each for sometime. But just the same, I'm very, very blessed to have all three of them. We grew up very close,and we still are. Even when we have our own families, we still stick to each other like glue.

I have a brother and a sister. And I am the youngest. Whatever happens or whatever happened, I am still grateful that I had them in my life.

I NEVER thought I wanted to be an only child.. I actually always felt sorry for them.. maybe cause I had a lot of fun and support from my siblings. But recently, I wondered what it would have been like... if I got ALL the attention from my parents... I wondered how it differs even from birth order. But I'm glad I'm not an only child.

No,i never wish that.Even when i was a little girl,i always wish my mother born a twin sister for me,then we have the same appearance ,and can wear same clothes,play together everyday and go to school everyday,that will be funny.^_^. Actually,i till now i also want myself have a twin sister.Although i have two elder sisters and one elder brother,and i like them,especially my two sisters,they treat me very well.I wish that one day when i'm married,i still want to have twins baby...Grrrrr...^_^

Somethimes I often think if I were a child.With the society's development,everyone has different pressure from different fields.When I watch the child playing in the ground every time,I feel so happy.If he were me,that's so wonderful.

well,i have one brother and two sisters,and i am the third,i never have the mind that it's better if i were an only child,because we four got on well with each other all the while,and just because i have so many siblings,i have obtained so much happiness,i can't imagine that if i were an only child,it may be lonely and dull.

Nah, I just love the way things are!~ Thins would be less exciting if I was the only child plus who knows the amount of pressure that might arise? Hahaha

yeah but i kind of already was in a way because my brothers were 15 and 13 years older than me so the age difference made it feel as if i was

I am the eldest of seven kids and I did once wished that I was an only child. I have a sister and five brothers and all were far younger than me. I am three years older than my sister. Our brother are ages 13, 10, 8, 6 and 5. I never really experienced to grew up with my parents because they worked in abroad for 15 years. Then when they get here in my country I had 3 brothers then another 2 followed. I have always been wishing that what if I am the only child? Maybe my parents had given me more attention than leaving me with my great grandparents who took care of me. Now that I am married I have found my true home. I am being taken care well by my husband and he never fails to make me happy by giving me his full attention whenever he arrives at home from work. I am really blessed because before I badly lack attention from my love ones. Now I have a happy family. My son is five months old and I am a full time wife and mom. I could say that I may not be an only child and may not have all the love I needed before but now I am far luckier than my brothers and sister. I promised to myself that my son will be loved the way that every child wants to be taken care of and loved. As of now I really don't have plans of having another baby. In my mind, I wish that he will grow as an only child but I will just expose him to other children to grow as a sociable person.

Sometimes I do.But if I was an only child, I would be alone and I wouldn't experience some things that I learned thanks to my sisters. Looking down at the comments, I used to wish I had a twin too. I still do, but I can't change that. And I don;t think I would change that.

no that would make life so boring
