Only child vs.siblings

I am not an only child. I think its somewhat important for children to have siblings I dont think they are at a disadvantage I actually heard that the older siblings are more likely to be sucessfull in the world. But, I’m the younger, and that id totally opposite for me! lol my sister is such a loser…

oh and maybe you could compare like those that have all brothers, then all sisters, then brothers and sisters. Like how they are most likey going to develope an what kinds of relationships will each group be more prone to hold as they get older

I’m an only child and it gets lonely sometimes haha

maybe well for me I’m less sociable and I’m shy and maybe if I had a brother or something I would be less shy. lol prob not I don’t think it’s either an advantage or a disadvantage to have siblings or not

and I ‘m not spoiled what so ever

im an only chil and 4 that I get more privledges I wouldnt xactly say im spoiled when I was younger and stayin @ my aunts house 4 da summer my because remarked that I was a sum spoiled brat that remark actually pissed me off sum timez I get lonely other its kinda great that I have all my tym 2c myself w/o any distractions or nuisances 2 get in my way

well. I have a twin, and not to happy about that but honestly I think it is better to have a sibling because they will ALWAYS be there no matter what if you need somewer to live when you get old or just anything

I think it is important to have a sibling

Well, I think these are some things I realize (I’m an only child, and I can kind of differentiate an only’s to a one with siblings);

1. Only children aren’t really spoiled, but they are usually less sociable and, as they grow up they have a tendency to be able to relate to people ONLY who have the same interests as they have (e.g. I like playing computer, another one likes playing comp. also, but a third one likes drawing instead. If I’m an only, I usually tend to relate only with the computer one.)

2. Oftentimes, only children can tend to think they’re doing a lot, but aren’t really. I notice that children in a large family usually have a stronger stamina to work and do this and that (sometimes they even work beyond the supposed) whereas only children do only what’s supposed to be done and this may be even conditional (e.g. If Im an only child I’d probably say; “This isn’t really important, so I ‘m not putting full effort into it.” Whereas if you’re a child from a big family, you’d say; “I’ll just get this done with so I can decrease my work.”)

3. I think siblinged ones are more trained in the role of society. They can talk to their elders more, they tend to participate more, they’re not shy to share their thoughts. Only children will usually share their thoughts only to their friends; whereas siblinged’s have a tendency to simply voice out their thoughts.

My thoughts, anyway.

hey. I thnk that its better to have a sibling than not , I have to older brothers and they drive me nutts but I hoestly think that they help with your confidence, defend you , and can be highly amusing at times , also they stick up for you! I think you must add the people whom are only child can someti,mes be a bit selfish my friend goes mental if she has to share anything , shes just not used to it. I hope I helped , and I hope you get a good grade. x

I’m not an only child, I have one younger brother and we are 8 years apart. It was really hard growing up because of the huge age gap in between us, we were constantly arguing and at each other’s throats. He was the spoiled one because he was the baby. I was supposed to be the responsible older role model, that didn’t happen. We get along great now that he’s older (15) and not so much of a child anymore.

“is it important for children to have siblings?” I think that it is. It’s not neccasary but I think it’s a good learning experience to have a sibling. You learn how to deal with people at a young age, how to deal with conflict also. It’s also nice to have someone there for you at all times and to have that special bond with someone.

“do you think that only children may be at a disadvantage when they’re older?” It depends on how they were raised. Not all parents spoil their only child, but a lot of them do because they are the only child. If they are spoiled and over protected, yes they have a disadvantage when they get out in the real world.

I have 3 older brothers and 1 older sister and I think it is better to have siblings because it give you a friend for life
