Is it normal to sometimes wish i wasn't an only child

91% Normal
7 Comments

I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have a sibling, and if being an only child hinders me in some ways. I can;t talk about relationships with siblings, I'll never be an aunt. i feel like it gives me less levels to connect with people on. combined with the whole stereotype that only children are spoiled. I even worry about the future- when my parents age and die, I won't have any support

Is It Normal?

    It's normal only children wish to have siblings, and children with siblings wish to be only children. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, no matte which side of the fence you're on.

    I grew up as a spoiled only child and I'm glad I didn't have to share my parents with anyone else.

    Siblings are horrible, trust me. You're not missing out on anything.

    Plus, you can't assume that you'll be close to talk about feelings and all that jazz.

    Majority of people with siblings aren't close like that.

    I think it normal to want a brother or sister I grew up with s brother and I would not want it anyother way. Sibling rivalry I think is health to make you the best you can be.the fights that were good I only beat the shot out of my brother three times in my life and now he's scared of me lol and he the older one.

    I think this is perfectly normal for people to think. Siblings are wonderful! I have a twin sister who is amazing, and a brother who protects me from boys, the point is they are always someone you can turn to when mom and dad are absaloutely out of the question!
    Hope I helped!
