Anyone here an Only Child?

[igottabaldhead]

And if so, do you ever feel it’s had any negative aspects?

for example, maybe you have a harder time living with roommates or a partner, since you never had to share living space (other than parents)?

or the obvious of never knowing what a sibling bond is like, and having to rely on perhaps distant cousins/friends for a ride-or-die person in your life (but they won’t ever care for you the way they care for their own siblings)

dealing with aging parents 100% on your own.

Thoughts?

Only child. Not close to any other family member besides wife & parents. My friends have been my family all my life.

My parents are getting older so caretaking is all on me.

Besides being selfish. I feel like being an only child has been beneficial. My parents were able to expose me to a lot of different things, from traveling to the arts.

THIS!
even worse when your parents get divorced, are hard headed, and live far away from you
then both get sick at the same damn time.

my dad in Louisiana , needed a valve replacement ad my mom in NC needed a pacemaker
so I was travelling and working and stressed out that entire year.

that only child shyt is great until they get old on you.

Not trusting ppl lol.

Pretty independent. Don’t need to be with large groups of people.

Only child.

Difference from being lonely and alone.

So glad I don't have to worry about siblings dealing with my parents eventually. shyt is a hassle having to deal with others. See it all the time in my family and also in my work...

I had to play by myself a lot probably would have been better at things if I had some one to learn from and practice with

The bolded bro lol, has me when I think about the day when me and my girl eventually move in together, I love her and all but man I love all this space.

It's just me, my mom and her man comes around now and then, but it's nothing. I have a handful of siblings from my dad that I'm close with, but never lived with them unless I was visiting my dad and I was the youngest.

It would be cool having siblings, but you can't miss something you never had. I was never lonely, I liked doing things by myself and made friends very easily growing up, I still do. My girl says I'm too friendly


Even tho we didn't have alot, I was so spoiled... Thanks to salvation army, and other charitable organizations my mom made sure I was good

There are some pro's and cons. I use to want a brother or sister until I seen the Christmas presents my cousins were getting and the ones I got. One Christmas I got the N64 and the Playstation, my cousins were mad tight. Having my own room with a queen size bed and big screen while my friends had to share rooms with their siblings. I never felt like I was missing out because my neighborhood was filled with kids and they would always come to my house because I had all the new cool stuff.

As an adult I do suffer because a lot of people don't understand I have to have a alone time. I absolutely hate females that feel like you have to spend all my free time with them, it has caused some issues in my life. Im also very possessive with my things I dont like to share shyt because I've never had to share. As an adult I got homies that are like brothers to me.
