I'm an only child. I wouldn't mind it so much if my parents were not such assholes...They shut themselves up in their bedroom to have sex ALL THE TIME...They don't think they ever should take any time out for me...

Im a only child as well ;)

I do have 2 older step sisters and a sister at heart,but thats all.

Honestly I enjoy being the only child at my parents,even if they are divorced and I live with my dad.Daddy's little girl that gets spoiled,cant complain that much eh :grin2:

I cant really complain on the loneliness thing,since my sister at heart(which happens to be my best friend) keeps me company,not to mention my other friends and such.

So yeah,for a only child,I can say Im doing pretty well :grin2:

Well, I am only child, though my situation is unique in that I was adopted by my grandmother on my mother's side; making her my legal mother not long after I was born.

 

I won't get into details here, but while I was raised as an only child, I actually do have legal siblings and half siblings due to my complicated situation, so yeah. ^^

I am an only child, however I have a half brother that's 32 and we have the same father, but different mothers. I consider him my brother regardless, other than that I'm an only child. It's funny I always wished I had more siblings, but a lot of my friends that do wish they were me lol.  :lol:

Yes, I'm an only child, something I've lamented for most of my life. As noted by several others here, that did mean more "peace" in the sense that the house was quieter and less crowded, but I found I didn't have much inner peace. Loneliness abounded, prompting a longing to explore, see the world, and meet new people. Not a bad thing by any means, but as a country boy who grew up in the middle of nowhere surrounded by almost nothing other than fields and woods for nearly 30 miles, with nobody to meet or hang out with with besides a few rednecks harboring distasteful stereotypes against non-heterosexuals, non-whites, and who possessed a patriotism bordering on fascism, this longing went totally unfulfilled until I was an adult. Fortunately I've always been very observant, and thanks to the constant conflict between my sensitive inner being and the callousness and prejudices of the cliché American south, I wasn't unprepared for the new social opportunities, nor was I naive to the ways of the world. I quickly adapted.

 

All things considered, I would have preferred a sibling to learn from and to teach, regardless of which of us was the elder. Somebody to abate the pain of uninterrupted solitude and who might relate to me, unlike all of my other peers. Had I that sibling, however, I would have ended up a very different person, no doubt; something I'm not sure I'd want to happen seeing as I recently (as in the past several years) became quite comfortable and satisfied with who I am. My life would also have taken a very divergent path from this one, down which I may not have met such wonderful friends (and I daresay family) as I have now. People such as @~Chaotic Discord~, @Chigens and Kay, @Felix, @SCS, and some others whom I've met through this forum are all very dear to me, as much as any sibling ever could have been. The way I now see it, I traded one form of family for another by not having any brothers or sisters through my parents, and this family I've formed for myself I wouldn't trade for anything.

 

It's been said that friends are the family that we choose for ourselves. To those of you other "only children" out there who may have had to endure or are now enduring a long, lonely childhood, perhaps with with parents such as mine who fought horribly, uncertain of yourself and what life might hold for you later: you have the power to change that. Maybe not immediately, maybe not for a long time, but it is within your ability.

I'm not an only child. I just couldn't imagine what life would be if I was one. My siblings mean a lot to me, even if my brother and I didn't get along for the longest time.

I'm an only child. For a while when I was little I wanted a sibling, but then I realized something- an only child that's feeling lonely can always find a social event to go to or a friend to go hang out with, it's a lot harder for someone with siblings to ditch them and get to a state of peace and quiet. Therefore, when I want to hang out with others, I go find something to do, but when I want to be alone, I have that luxury as well.

I'm an only child. It's ok I guess, but it can get really lonely, sad, and depressing sometimes... :(

I kind of wish I had siblings, honestly. At least then it wouldn't be as depressing or lonely at times and I'd actually have someone to hang out with and stuff, and besides, I really like other people's company and hate being alone.

 Yes, my other two siblings were an older sister and brother, and both died before they got to live. I wish I had either of them, maybe they wouldn't hate me. Or maybe they would, but I'd still love them. Even if we would disagree on some things in the end they're still family.

I'm not an only child, but I'd like to be one. I love my two siblings, but things will be a little less difficult when they move into their own homes. I would have no worry about watching an MLP episode at 12:00 AM, and I can finally be myself without being annoying.

I'm an only child, and I would say I'm happy to not habe any siblings. With the stress I already receive from my parents on a daily basis, I wouldn't want to think if my siblings are there to protect me or support my parents and bash me for everything. Less stressful, simple as that.

 

Most of my friends look up at me like an older sister/brother figure because of my maturity, but that's what how I am and the things I learned by myself when growing up. Even some of them despise their siblings, but though I don't have any siblings myself I tell them to be happy they get to have them, because they're what makes them the person I grew to care about.

 

Stereotypes are everywhere, but one thing for sure is that it doesn't get lonely without brothers or sisters. I tell myself it's an advantage for me, since I got to learn about things independently, especially on how to take care of myself in the future.

I got kind of a weird situation going on. I was raised an only child by my mom, but I have three half siblings on my dad's side, but neither my dad nor my siblings can legally come to America.

I used to be an only child as the firstborn for about 3 years or so, but now I have several siblings and I'm not the only child.
