Isn't it great? When you were younger did you always wish for a sibling?






dumb thread of the year award.

I'm an only child..hell no I didn't want a sibling...I'm not much on that whole sharing concept....

Awwww. Its not dumb.

Are YOU an only child?

Not to be rude, but all the only children/youngest child I know are spoilt brats.

of course we're spoiled...who else was gonna get all that shit???

roodboi said:

yeah, I was glad about that, privacy and no sharing. Love the privacy and quietness.

not really, my mom was/is tough as hell on me. I hardly asked for stuff and I got so many beatings.

I have three younger brothers, am very close to all of them especially the youngest, Don't see my life without them

I understand.

I was an only child. I wanted siblings and I did not want siblings.
I was glad I did not have any when my mom had to raise me on her own and she was stressed enough raising me and I was very well behaved.
I am always fascinated by siblings and I love to watch them interact.

I'll be your brother...

roodboi said:

Thank you ....very cool


I do have a younger adopted lil' bro but he did not come along until I was grown. He is 18 now and is too busy for his big sis. I have only seen him 3 times....
so are you the older or younger brother?

which ever you need...

I'm the middle child in my family.

roodboi said:

I think I am older than you but I always thought it would be cool to have an older brother.

I STILL want a sibling. I would have had an older brother but...he died at birth 8 years before I was born. I had stepbrothers for a while and it was kinda fun....(while the marriage lasted, that is.) People (including my father) tell me how good I have it as the only child. However, I disagree to a point. Despite seeing how my dad and his brother act, and how my boyfriend and his sister are, I still yearn for someone who shares the same blood with me....even if they're like....barely a week old. I suppose it just wasn't meant to be....*sigh*

Not an only child but only girl in a family of 4 kids. So ya, I was spoiled.

I did not want a sister.

I'm not an only child but I am the youngest

i'm an only child and i always loved it when i was growing up. i don't like it so much now that my mother is getting older and in poorer health, and i'm the only person in the family who gets all the responsibility of dealing with it. even if i had siblings who didn't lift a finger to help, it would still be nice to have people i grew up with who i could talk to and they'd be familiar with the family history. i don't have that. otherwise, i have no regrets about being an only child.

Only child and only grandchild both sides, that's nuts.

Never really thought about having a sibling when I was younger, had other children around so I got a feeling of what having siblings were like, was happy when I had my time and attention to myself. Now that I'm older, and fewer and fewer family members I think it would be nice to have someone that knows you completely. Glad I had 2 youngins of my own hope they grow up staying close, funny though that my oldest pouts about not being the only child despite they only have a 4 year head start.

It was hard though growing up I had 3 adults on my case all the time so I couldn't get away with anything, but yeah, I was spoiled to an extent too bad my family wasn't rich, I would be rotten.

JustErin said:

Wow I was also the only girl out of 4 kids too but I did want a sister.

JustErin said:

just the opposite.....only boy (youngest) out of 4 kids.....I wasn't spoiled....I was literally a Cinderfella....my sisters dogged me out for not being a girl...like I had a choice in the matter.....so I ALWAYS wished for a big brother.....

thats a big reason why I'm still great friends with most of my childhood buds...they're all the bros I never had...

i'm the oldest. i have 1 brother and 2 sisters. we used to beat up our brother 'cause he got his way alot we are all extremely close even though i dont see my brother as much anymore my sister whose the next after me is the one whom i can talk to about anything. i wouldn't want to be an only child.

I'm not the only child, but I did grow up that way in the house. My brother is 15 years older than me....so when I was in my toddler stage...he already graduated and moved to college. I did always want a sister....I used to be so jealous of my friend because she had a sister who was like her best friend. Anytime somebody picked on her, her sister would be up at the school in a heartbeat. Through the years, I had so many different female "best friends" that were falling apart over petty stuff. I just wanted to have my sister who would stick it in with me, regardless.

That's what I liked about it, the privacy! Although I did always wish for an older brother. Thankfully I met my best friend in college who is exactly that. Everyone comes into your life for a reason.

I'm an only child. I kinda wish I had siblings when I was growing up. I guess I can't miss what I never had.

Im an only child and Ive alway loved it. I have 2 cousins that Im very close to, so I never felt the need have siblings(as if it was up to me). When I got sick of them, either they went home, or I got the hell outta theirs. Now that Im an adult with a family, the hardest thing for me is sharing my space. Its taking a lot of getting used to, but its def. worth it. BUT I love my me time, and I have to have 2 uninterrupted days a month or I kinda start having mini break-downs.

oh that is so true...

PurpleRighteous1 said:

totally agree

Yep I grew up an only child. Yeah I did want a sibling because it got quite lonely at times. THEN I had bomb dropped on me when I was about 23 years old and was told that I have a half-sister AND a half-brother ! Man was I pissed Apparently everybody knew in my family BUT me. Anyway, me and my sister are cool, but we just don't have that "sisterly" bond. I don't talk 2 my brother at ALL. (don't ask...it's a long story)
