Another siblings inspired Q...........?

Question

I'm an only child & wish even now that i had siblings, for the good & the bad. How many of you are glad you did grow up having siblings, and how many wish you too had been an only child? not based on your relationship now as adults, on CHILDHOOD experience

Answer 1

Growing up as a child, I wasn't too happy about having a younger sister. She is 4 1/2 yrs. younger. Back then I thought of her as a brat because it seemed she was the "favored child". I think that is sometimes normal, when the older child thinks the younger is spoiled because the parents tend to have to do more taking care of the younger ones and then the older ones see it as us being ignored. That insight only comes after we, ourselves, get older and especially when we become parents.

I always felt my mom made me take my younger sister wherever I wanted to go. That made me mad, and I would seem to take it out on my sister. I thought she was too young to have to be able to go the same places I should have been allowed to go.

Now that I am older, I sure wish I had more siblings because we don't have many family members and the ones we do have live far apart.

I think about how quickly the family will disappear as our parents die, then when either I die or, God forbid, my sister should die, then there won't be anyone left except for her 3 sons and my daughter and son and the grandchildren.

I am very, very happy that I wasn't an only child. Even back when my sister drove my crazy, when we were children, I can't ever remember thinking that I wished she were gone.

Answer 2

Well I personally, am glad I had other siblings. I have an older brother and a twin sister. We have always been here for each other thru everything. I think that if people only have one child that they r missing out on a full blessing. But in this day and time, I can understand why some people may choose to only have one child.

Answer 3

I never got to interact with my siblings. They died in infancy. So I don't know what the whole sibling thing is like. I liked being an only child, though, because I like my privacy. I like having lots of "alone time". I was often left by myself, and enjoyed it. I've often wondered what would've happened if my brothers had lived. My parents died young, and finding a new home for one orphan (me) was bad enough, much less several of us. It wouldn't have been happy for my siblings, between that and all the violence and abuse in the family.

Answer 4

For me it replace into the 2001 India vs Australia try at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.This replace into purely the 0.33 time interior the background of cricket that a set had controlled to win a try after being compelled to persist with on it replace into additionally between the main celebrated memories of Indian cricket, Australia have been heading in direction of a checklist seventeenth consecutive try victory whilst VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid stepped in made a checklist 376 run partnership. For me the perfect ingredient of that day replace into the vast 280 by skill of Laxman yet Dravid's a hundred and eighty too replace into spectacular.
