Would you rather be the only child or have a sibling?

Question

Would you rather be the only child or have a sibling?

Answer 1

I have one sibling, and I think being an only child would really bite. I mean, you wouldn't have anyone close in age to share things with, you might miss out on learning certain cooperation or competition skills, and you wouldn't have anyone to hoist guilt onto if you get into trouble.

Personally, I wish that I had had at least one more sibling--my mom wanted this too, but my dad didn't! So, no little sister for me.

Answer 2

Having siblings is nice, you can go to them just to talk, but as a mom of a single child, being a single child is perfect.

Everything he wants, needs or desires can be answered with a yes, because I don't have to worry about what the others want.  I would rather put all my time, attention and money to one child than have to divide it among two or three.

There is also no competition with one child

Answer 3

I have siblings but  I am currently pregnant with a baby that will be an only child.  Personally, my brother and I DO NOT get along.  We haven't since I was born and we are both in our thirties now and we still do not.  Maybe if we were the same s*x we would have been closer but he got into drugs as a teen and hasn't stopped since.  I would have preferred growing up with people not associating me with my druggie brother.  I would have liked to be an only child.  The only benefit is that my brother had a son who is the best version of him and he is the love of my life.  He's 9 but lives with my parents because both his parents are losers.  Poor baby.

Answer 4

I am an only child and for many years it was quite lonely.  My parents were great and involved me in different activities, but i still feel as though i missed out.  I now have 3 boys, as i have always wanted a large family.  They love and admire one another, i don't think any of them could live without each other.

Answer 5

I had 3 other siblings and I was happy. Only children do fine, but I think a child should have a sibling to grow up with. Most of the people I know that are only children wish they would of had a "friend" to experience things with.

Answer 6

I am an only child, and I have not idea what it would be like to have a sibling, so I can't say which I perter, since I have never been exposed to anything other than being by myself.

Answer 7

I have an older brother, a twin sister and 2 younger foster brothers. Sometimes I think being an olny child would be VERRRRRY nice, but then I think about all that me and my siblings do together, and realize how lonely I would be without them!

Answer 8

I am thankfully not an only child. I have a few siblings, and I love it. I am never lonely.

Answer 9

being an only child is really cool..you get what you want..

you dont have anyone to fight with..no one would bug you or annoy you...but having siblings is much much better..it is important for a child to grow with sibling to help develop him socially and psychologically..you learn how to get along with other people..you learn how to deal with them..you learn the value of sharing..fairness..and respect for other people..

and having siblings is a lot of fun..you wont feel alone..you'll have someone to talk to and stuffs.
