what is better beening an only child or haveing siblings?

Answer 1

I think having a sibling teaches you how to respect/ be nice to people even when they are in your face all the time. It also teaches you how to share everything! :)

Answer 2

Anyone with siblings will tell you only child is best, Anyone who is an only child will tell you siblings. That is because they percieve the grass is greener on the other side-- Well my father was raised as an only child and has become the biggest prick-- I was raised with sisters and brothers, but we all have issues now-- for some it may have been best if they were raised as only children and in other cases it was best to be raised with siblings. As for me, I think it would have been better if we were raised by a single parent (our mom)

Answer 3

I think having siblings. What better way to teach a child to share and how to be sociable. I grew up a middle child. It was great to have siblings to play with when the friends weren't home.

Answer 4

I have the best of both worlds. I am an only child with an older brother and sister. They were grown and out of the house by the time I was 6, for all intensive purposes, I was a single child.

I can't imagine being an only child since my parents passed away. I think it would be a terribly lonely and unsettling feeling. But, that's just my opinion

Answer 5

It only depends on the siblings your have, the kind of parents that you have, and the family that you are in. If they are nice and understanding, then it is better to have siblings. Otherwise, it is better to be the only child.

Answer 6

I am an only child and I think this is a very hard question to answer. Because I only know being an only child. I did bond with a male cousin who is nine years older than me.He is like an older brother and is always here for me even in my adult life, so I never really felt so alone. I was like the annoying little sister, then when I was 12 (by this time he was married) he started having kids of his own who I became very close too. I watched them grow into adults and I have a close bond with all of them (kind of like nieces and nephews) I think being an only child has made me more more creative (i often had to amuse myself and come up with things to do on my own) and I am independent when I need to be.
I now have 3 kids of my own. And I hope they are being installed with good character traits. (sharing,outgoing, kind ect.) but I don't know it can get pretty ugly around here LOL Hubby comes from a family of 4 kids and he says the tiffs and nit-picking is perfectly normal! I guess we are who we are meant to be.

Answer 7

well i have 2 siblings but i am the oldest child so its i sometimes good but then i do need tiime alone but that doesnt mean it is better to be the only child you get bored and it just isnt the same as having a sibling =]

Answer 8

I am baby of 7 and I love the siblings

Answer 9

I wouldn't know what it feels like to be an only child, but having siblings is really fun and you learn to share. Plus it's awesome to be friends with them when you all grow up, to be there at their wedding, and watch their kids grow.

Answer 10

I've got two older brothers and when we were growing up, I always wished that I were an only child. Now that I'm older, I am so thankful for having my brothers not only when I was growing up, but now that I am grown up. I think that having brothers and/or sisters is so much better.

Answer 11

I'm an only child and I grew up hating it! Now that I ahve children I can see why it's so much better! My kids always have soemone to talk to and play with. They do fight, but thats expected. They also know how to share really well.
