Would you rather be an only child or with siblings?

i prefer to have a sibling because although you get the attention of your parents, if your parents are busy, you will eventually get lonely. having a sibling is like having a playmate and a best friend. and you know that no matter what happens, you will always be siblings.

Being alone does not mean being lonely. So you can be an only child but enjoying life just as other kids who have more siblings. As for me I am not an only child but given that circumstance I think I can still manage to enjoy living because I have friends around who can fill the gap in a way. If given the choice though, I think I would love it if I have a twin sister. I love to see twins and would have loved if I do have a twin sister too. Nevertheless God did not give this to me. At any rate whichever situation you are in, I think it all depends on the how the person takes the kind of life given to him by the Lord.

Actually I am an only one child for my family. I prefer to have siblings so that I wouldn't feel alone when I was a child. Meanwhile my parents might not so focus on me and I might have some freedom. Since I am only one child for them. So they care about me so much. I can't really do what I like since they will be worried about me. I love China

I am an only child and like you, I never enjoyed being an only child. The expectations for an only child is too high and all hopes are placed on you. Parents expect you to do good in school, to achieve a lot of things. And whenever they get disappointed by your failure, you can really feel the gravity of what you've done. I remember countless times that I remember wishing that I had an older brother or a younger sister. I would have loved to share the attention and the pressure from my parents. Plus, I believe that if you have a sibling, you would have an ally, someone who will stand by you when you succeed or when you fail in life. When I got married, I made a vow to have more than one child. Now, I have two daughters and I love seeing them play and share things and enjoy each other's company. It touches my heart to see that they love each other and that my younger daughter adores her older sister and vice versa. In the future, I'd like to have one more baby, hopefully a baby boy, so that my daughters will experience having a baby brother.

I am not the only child. I have a younger brother and i enjoyed his company very much. He is my good friend. I personally feel the kids are more social who have sibling. Even I had two kids and both enjoyed very much.

Hi karagala! I don't have brothers and sisters too. I am an only child but I many 1st degree cousins from my Mother's sisters and brothers. I think there is an advantage and disadvantage of being an only child. Advantage because your parents can buy the things you want, although I did not ask for expensive things. And of course you are so pampered. But sometimes I envy my cousins because they looked lively and festive in the house. I did not experience such in our house. I go to my cousins house to sleep over when I was young but its really different thing if you have your own brothers and sisters.

I would not want to be the only child, i rather with siblings.I have a lot of brothers and only on sister,and i the older an taking care of them was fun an is still to do so. When your the only child maybe your parents spoil you ,and they you will get a lot of attention from both parents. Now i have one child an my mom said i spoil him, i don't it but she do.I give him a lot of attention ,help with home and play with him a lot.and i hope to give him a brother are a sister soon.

I have a younger sister, and I have to say that I'm still glad that I'm not an only child, even though my sister and I aren't very close. I know a few people who were an only child. They have told me that they would have preferred having a sibling. So, you're definitely not the only one.

@karagala: Everything in this world has its pros and contras, and this case is no exception. Getting attention sometimes is good, because it makes you feel that you are loved. But too much of it, and you started feeling too "controlled" - you feel uneasy about it. Perhaps, great deal of hope will be placed on you because you are the only one which sometimes stress people out. If you have siblings, you won't be afraid if your parents are away. Also you got friends to play with as well as share things together. Speaking about sharing things together, sometimes you have to fight with your siblings for something but it is one of the ways for you to be closer with them. And perhaps one of the best things about having siblings is you can share your happiness as well as your sadness with them without the need to feel shy. Personally, I would prefer to have siblings. But I believe you should be grateful too although you have none. Happy myLotting!
