DO give me a reason and/or examples so support what you said
(unless that is common sense lol)
i think having siblings is better as having siblings helps in having the other siblings nice,after all,the eldest have this natural "duty" to show a good example,that way,the younger ones will have this natural "will" to follow his example if they dont hate each other or anything

If you're the only child of your family, you're doomed to be spoiled.


Not true that only happens if your parents have alot of money to blow on your or like you (mine don't).

But it'll get very lonely.


You can say that again since I talk to myself.

Siblings.

Good thing.

You will not be lonely
You will have someone to talk to(I talk to my bro all the time)
You would probably have someone to share interest with(Warning: Bro/Sis may vary. You may not be able to share your LOVE interest) And a lot of things I still didn't think.

Bad thing.

They will constantly fight with you(punches, kicks, video games, etc.)
They will sometimes put blame on you(I do it all the time)
Baby sisters are annoying(especially when they like to sing)
Once again, bro/sis may vary.


Only child.

Good thing.

You will always, ALWAYS get things that you wanted.
You will be the center of attention.
Uhhh....its hard for me to think about this OK? I'm not an only child...
You won't have to fight with anyone(except your cousin...if you have any!!) to use/play the laptop/video games console/TV.
And others.

Bad thing.

You will be lonely.
You will feel depressed by your parents being mad at you for no reason(work trouble perhaps?)
You won't be able to put your blame on other people.
And others I haven't think of.


So, even if you're an only child or have sibling, it still sucks.

Having siblings is great. I'm was the oldest for 6 years, then my parents had another one. He was annoying when he was 3~6 years old, but he's slowly maturing. I have another brother and sister, but they're way younger then me. If it wasn't for them I'd be extremely spoiled (I hate spoiled kids) and sadly, lonely >_>.

Did I say that? I meant I was an only child for 6 years. I don't know if I enjoyed those years or not. I think I did.

Why is she gone?

I was an only child for 9 years...it was fine back then because I actually had friends and wasn't a computer addict...

Really, siblings are like close friends, if you get along. Otherwise, your life is just plain miserable

Okay, as an only child, the stereotype that you always get what you want is wack, man. I hate hearing it from all the sibling'd people I know.

Plus, it's lonely, and there is never anyone to blame when problems arise. I kinda had to learn all my own life lessons from my parents, which is less fun to deal with, and my friends.


In all, I think I did gain an inherent laziness from being an only child.

It's a really long story and I'm sure you don't want to here me go on and on about something that doesn't really matter.

The hell are you talking about? I get just about everything!

I'm going to have to agree with you on that one. I wish I had somebody that liked Halo like me, and was always around to help get each other achievements. I'd also probably go outside more...My parents are thinking of giving birth to another child, but It wouldn't be a 2 super close friends kind of thing since I would be so much older than him/her.

It all Depends of your age :P
Having a younger sister (like 8-13) is problematic , because they are really annoying -.- Older sisters (21-25) are Excellent because they are slightly older than me so we have kinda the same view at life :P
Younger brothers are awesome (any age) because you can torture them , and they wont tell on ya xD And older brothers are the same as Sisters :P (for me atleast)

Well it's good to have siblings to be less lonely and maybe have something to do,but when you do have siblings they get annoying as hell?Don't they well atleast all of mine do,when you're an only child you can usually get more of what you want and have no annoying big/little sisters or brothers.

By the way I have a little sister and brother and a big brother and sister.

I can't do that to my younger brother. He starts crying and my mom goes "WTF IS GOING ON!?!". Sports are a good way to vent the anger though. I "accidently" threw a football at his face.

Your brother is a good influence. /sarcasm
Does your parents do anything about him?

WEll i think i would prefer being only child, hehe although i think i would get a spoiled brat! But you have all the attention of your parents, they have more money for holidays and so on! the only good thing about having siblings is that you can talk with them and have fun, but you can also have that with friends! Siblings often make fights, also because your around almost 24/7..
