Anyone here an only child?

[catnet 9,353]

I'm one, and on the whole, I'm fine with it. I have feelings of loneliness occasionally, but, I like having this kind of freedom and peace and quiet. Sometimes, though, it feels like it'd be nice to have a sister (I don't think I'd get on so well with a brother ) to care for and be affectionate to... there's no-one I can really make very happy over here, and that can make it difficult for me to see my purpose in life.

I'm not an only child but I kinda feel like I am. My sister is 7 years older than me and we never spent any time together during our childhood. She left really early from home and I was all alone   (with my parents of course  ). 

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Yup, I'm an only child. It's nice that I get the house to myself all the time and stuff, but sometimes I wish I had siblings so I would have people in real life who I'm close to.

I’m not an only child:

 

I’m glad I’m not, I like having an older sister.

 

Although I'm kinda glad I don't have any younger siblings, not sure why though. I was against my parents adopting when they were suggesting it.

[SunflowerPrincess 345]

I am an only child, and I actually like it. When I was younger, I wanted to have a sibling, but now I absolutely don't, I hate little children, they're too loud and noisy and always cry.

I'm actually a miracle baby. :3 They told my mom she would never have kids, I think because of cervical cancer. Yet... here I am today. With that said, I am definitely an only child. I like being the only baby because I'm a bit on the spoiled side, especially with my daddy. X3 It's reassuring because I don't have to worry about nagging siblings driving me up the wall. However, a nagging mother is an entire different story...

I have a much older sister, but she moved out of the house when I was 5. I have pretty much lived as an only child ever since. I consider myself very fortunate!

I am an only child. Sometimes I wish I wasn't but then again the shiz my friends have to deal with..I think i'm fine being an only child. But I would feel so bad if I married another only child and then my future child wouldn't have aunts or uncles. 

[ponylaces 1,869]

I'm an only child, and I don't really like it. My friends say I'm lucky, but ehh..

 

I guess being an only child has a few advantages. You don't have to share your things, you have time alone for yourself, and there's less drama around the house. Although it would be great to have a sibling to blame on for stuff.

 

Being an only child does make it hard to socialize with others, and it's kind of boring being around your parents all the time..

[NOT ACTIVE 1,266]

My parents are divorced, and i'm now starting to spend some time with each, at my mom's house i'm an only child, and at my dad's i have an brother, so i'm able to experience both lifes, and i would say i prefer the only child one...  -_-

[Odyssey 5,713]

Nope! I have an older brother. To be honest, I'm very happy that I'm not an only child, mostly because I really love my brother.

 

Although, I'm also happy that I'm the youngest. I'm not sure if I could handle having a younger sibling who is always noisy. x)

[Starlight Fan 538]

I honestly have never wanted siblings in my life.

The idea of other people in my house eating my food has always been terrifying.

[MLG4Ever 876]

I feel like I'm the only kid at my step dad and mom's, but I used to have a older sister live with me but she moved in with her BF!

I'm the older child at my step mom and dad's,

I have a younger sister and brother and they both drive me nuts!

I've got 5 siblings. yep, my mum had 6 kids.

[ponypowa96 106]

I was an only child for over 13 years, and although I didn't like it at first I got used to the idea of not having any siblings and began to see that there were upsides.

 

When my parents told me I was getting a brother, it was never something I'd expected because of the ridiculous age gap between us. I hated the idea at first because it was sprung upon me from out of the blue, but I quickly adapted. I'm almost 19 now and my brother's almost 6 now, and as weird as it may seem since we don't really spend that much time together, I couldn't imagine what it'd be like if he wasn't here.

 

So all in all I don't think I'd be devastated if I never had a brother and remained an only child forever (like I thought would be the case), but now that I do have a brother I certainly don't wish he was gone or anything. I think it's mostly about what you adapt to

[Bird Mom 900]

I'm an only child. In opinion, I think my mom saw how hard it was and didn't want another.

[#1FluttershyFan 206]

It seems like everyone is an only child. I only have two good friends who have siblings. I have siblings (a younger brother) but it seems like so many people don't. It's weird. Maybe it's just where I live.

[Jonny Music 3,308]

I happen to have 2 younger brothers (both of which are also Bronies). However, I do personally know some friends and a cousin of mine who are only childs.

 

I can easily understand anyone who is an only child when it comes to loneliness. Me and my brothers are practically brothers to my cousin (same goes with other cousins of ours).

I'm not an only child and if I was, then it wouldn't be the same.

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,221]

I'm not an only child (I have 9 siblings) but I lived at home without my siblings all my life.

[SCS 7,443]

I'm an only child. I have loving parents though so that has greatly minimized my feelings of loneliness. I still feel lonely pretty often but the freedom and space is fantastic.

[Hovershy 3,812]

I'm not. I have one brother but he's 9 years older than me. So I feel like an only child sometimes. 

[Lightwing 12,955]

I'm not an only child,but my brother is old (he's 12 years older than me),and he left when I was young,so I was practicallly educated and grew up as if I was an only child.

[N.W. 3,619]

I often wish I was as my brother is annoying as all hell. But I don't hate him, he is just a great teacher of patience.

[Midnight Dragon 264]

Hi, I'm an only child    (And hopefully it will remain that way)
