Oh I know I said I don't really have anything to complain about but I kind of because I just remembered some things.A lot of my things are stolen. I had a dvd player and one day it somehow disappeared. A few days later I found it in my sister's room covered by all her junk. Another thing I don't like is having to share. My sister and I have to share a PS2 and she will just take it into her room whenever she pleases. She doesn't play games she just uses it to watch movies. This one time I left my memory card in the PS2 and the memory card somehow fell out of it while in my sisters room. I honestly did go a little berserk, it took me a very long time to find my memory card because I had to look under,in between, and around piles of junk.

I have four brothers. Sure, they're a pain sometimes, but it's nice to have them. I'm certainly never lonely. We're ten, thirteen, I'm nearly fifteen here, sixteen, and twenty-three. Kya. We get along, or rather, we haven't killed each other and we can stand one another's company. Which is good because the two computers are in the same room. Fortunately it's only four taking turns with those two computers, because the oldest is away at college. biggrin Yeah, they're someone to talk to. Although sometimes I need Mom or my Net friends, because they're all guys. I used to wish I had a sister so much. Now....I don't really think about it. It's just the way my family is. I'm also better at handling (read: putting up with) them than I was at five. Or nine.

I voted yes. Those, who had to spend their childhood as the only child know how dreary it can be. And the fact that upon hearing that you're the only child everyone automatically thinks you're spoiled... What the heck?
Anyway, having sibling(s) is a good thing. Sure, they can be a pain in the neck, but hey, I'd take pain in the neck over having to play alone/live alone. Simple act of sharing a joke is so much more enjoyable with sibling. And the closeness.
Seeing that I don't have any blood siblings, I compensate myself by having loads and loads of honorary brothers and sisters, who were my friends before the 'promotion' smile wink grin

I believe that nobody will be completely happy, only child or not.

For example, when dealing with my older sister (and she's older in age--I have long since usurped the role of the older sibling in day-to-day goods, as I'm the only sibling that doesn't throw periodic temper tantrums), I often wish that I had no siblings; and yet, I then remember all the times that I did fun things with my sister way back when--when we still got along well.

And an only child could wish for a sibling, but then, what of the things that would never have happened for them were they burdened with siblings? What of the stresses of living up to expectations and wondering if one is really following in his sibling's footsteps; if one should be leaving the blazed trail behind?

Having siblings is more healthier socially, in which you have someone to interact with. Also, the bonds you create with your sister or brother last a lifetime. As said, "blood is thicker than water".

If I could choose, I'd have at least 2 siblings.

Voted No, but that's not 100% true I suppose. I have 1 sister (8 years older) and 2 brothers (twins, 1 year younger). Had an older brother too, but sh*t happens. Siblings don't stop me being lonely since I don't leave my room much anyway. (Need middle option or "other", like "Yes, but they're a pain in the arse").

I think I got on ok with my sister, but my brothers were my mortal enemies until we no longer lived in the same house (I live on campus at university for now).

If you want siblings, get your mother to plant gooseberry bushes.
8 years of trying to have children = nothing.
Planted 1 gooseberry bush = me born
Planted 2 gooseberry bushes = twins born
Dad bans gooseberry bushes from being planted in our garden. laugh

To have a little sister which calls you oni-chan is awesome

Third this one smile. I hate it when I say I'm an only child and people automatically assume I whine a bit and then get everything I want <_<.
The biggest problem is that parents expect you to be near perfect, because you're the only one left to carry on the family.
Considering few have been an only child for a long time and then getting siblings I guess everyone prefers the opposite side. It's natural so, because you somehow tend to see only the advantages. I for one think that the only good thing in being an only child is getting full inheritance biggrin

I compensate by having around 30 cousins. You do the maths on that one biggrin. But if we all were single children in a few generations we'd have far less cousins. And as we all know distant weird cousins rock eyes

I have two younger brothers. One is only two years younger than me and we act like best friends. The other is five years younger than me and I often want to kill him, especially when he does the whole "You don't love me because you don't tell me every little detail of your life" thing.

Only child, though our dog thinks he's human, and quite content that way. Though I often wished I had siblings, in the end I'm happy that I don't, if only because our household is screwed up enough without another person having to live in it.

A good thing? Only for an outlet of physical violence.
