Being an only child sucks

[Jonny879]

I'm an only child and its pretty damn boring, no little brothers or sisters to look after or older brother and sisters to look up to or to ask for help and advice. If you're an only child then you become alot closer to your friends but that isn't necessarily a good thing because they could move house go to university etc etc. And then there's a stereotype that being an only child means that you're spoilt. My parents luckily avoid this stereotype by teaching me that you earn things in life but even if you do get something you want it isn't as enjoyable with no one to share it with. So the purpose of this thread is to remind you that if you do have a little or older brother or sister then you are very fortunate and you should love them as much as you can.

depressing thread is depressing

This. When I was a kid, I honestly, truly believed that my sister had some sort of mental disorder. I'm not even joking. She was a psycho, ab rat, an uneducated idiot, and refused to listen to the most basic logic and reasoning. Like a troll on the internet.

[psycho-squirrel]

I am an only child myself, so I know what you mean.

I prefer to be alone. I fucking hate my siblings and they always use my computer.

[HeavyMetalGuy]

I'm an only child, and I could care less. No one to bother me, I get everything to myself, lots a privacy. Shit's cash.

Both are true, so we're fucked either way.

[6r0undZ3r0]

I think being an only child is better than having siblings because you learn to rely on yourself. The loneliness can be dealt with by hanging out with friends.

Holy Hell, I guess no matter how you look at it, there's no reason to live.

I spent my days cooped up in my room playing games. I don't think not having a sibling would have made my life better in any way.

[supermofo]

i think it kicks ass, because i get 10 times the stuff and ten times the attention from my parents

All of these. There are good and bad points about both situations.

[LucasJC]

I'm an only and I LOVE IT. I love the privacy you get.

[zag]

I don't have any full siblings... I have a half-sibling that I met when I was fifteen (some of you have heard that story XD)
growing up, I always wished that I had siblings to keep me company.
truth be told, I'm incredibly spoiled, so maybe that would have been avoided if I had a brother or sister growing up.

[Yert]

Are you fucking kidding? Being an only child is amazing

[Deathspam]

I'm currently in high school, and next year my sister is going to be in college and I'm really looking forward to NOT having a sibling in the house with me for a year. Also, a lot of kids I know who are only children are a little bit spoiled because they're parents focused all of their attention on them instead of spreading it around between them and siblings.

[Kunera]

Well, I'm past the point where having a sibling would be annoying, and I must say, I'm pretty close to my sister, and as much as we argued whenever we were little, that was just part of being little kids. I have to say, I am pretty lucky to have a sibling.

Of course, I'm pretty sure that part of what made us closer was finding out that she was a lesbian, trusting me not to say anything to our parents, fearing that they would basically disown her. I would like to think that they wouldn't, but having seen the way they respond to homosexuality in the media, I never said anything about it when I was younger.

[ylerskay]

My older sisters, I love them to death but they cause a shitload of problems for me and I'm sure they'd say the same thing about me. But I'm real glad I have them, I love them more than I could say and my sister practically raised me when my parents were working all the time because we had no money.

[AlphaCentauri]

I've decided myself that if I ever have a kid, I'm going to at least have two. I'm incredibly happy and thankful to have a brother.

I think in the long term they become even more important. Its nice to know that I am going to be able to kinda live right along side someone. We grew up in th same house, were raised by the same people, have tons of shared memories,etc.

Also, when my parents die sometime in my middle age, what if I didn't have a brother? I mean, like that my entire family would just be gone, nothing left.

I don't know, I think its a terrible thing to be an only child and I m very thankful for my brother, and I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a sibling. I don't think its far not to have one.

[Lojinkz]

If you have younger siblings, they will scream a lot and break your stuff. If you have older siblings, they will tell you to fuck off when you are "looking up to them" or need advice. Only child wants siblings, not only child doesn't want siblings.

[paradigmvulpes]

have two older brothers...yeah, anyways, their 4 and 6 years older than me....so i took a lot of abuse, they used to push me down the stairs a lot, punch me, use my stuff when i wanted to, shit the older of the two would spit on me. so there are some disadnatages to having siblings. atleast im an uncle now, plus since ive got older, were more like peers than enemies. oh and i wish i had a little brother so i could whoop him like i got whooped...if you have kids, try to have them close in age, for the younger ones sake. they'll still get beat, but a lot less. shit, by the time i was old and strong enough to fight back, they were all moved out. whats fun though, is we had bunk beds that were taken apart, so they had tall post, we used to take a bungie courd and strap it to the poles so wen one of us walked up the stairs( they had three turns) and around the corner, boom, we shot a hangar at them, good times.

Welcome to a question that will drive you crazy until you die. Do you stay alone. Or do you commit to a relationship and have children? You could stay alone, (lonely depressed style) or have a wife and kids, (which could technically be annoying as stepped in dog shit).

Personally, I'm married. I have two kids. I'm happier now than being a depressed piece of shit without someone in my life. But some days, I'm just like... wtf... this sucks balls. I get no time to myself. We fight alot. I'm tired. I don't want to hang out with her family sometimes. Etc... Nothing wrong with her, or her family. It's just that too much of anything is bad. If you are never allowed to step back from it all, and have alone time once in a while, you could go crazy. But that's the thing. You don't get time to yourself when you have the responsibility of marriage and kids. So, it causes fights. And that causes wanting to be alone. And then you're alone, and you're like, well this fucking sucks too! Until you're so fucking bitter you just eat a damn bullet, and let everyone else piece up the piece, because you don't give a fuck anymore, because you can't, because you're dead. lol This is all just talk. But every joke has it's truth. I could definately see how less level headed people than me blow there brains all over a wall. Do I stay or do I go? Am I alone but free to do what I want? But I'm alone, so I don't want to do anything anyway because I'm depressed. Or do I get married, have kids, and pray we still love each other in a year, because I just made a fucking life long commitment.

[i-am-ghey]

the fact that i am an only child gives me motivation to study. my parents have high expectation on me, and i don't want to let them down.

and i agree that i am lonely most of the time when i leave highschool. started to lost contact with my friends (which i don't have many). so i spend the rest of the time going to the library (they do have a vast collection of books and literture so i can learn any topic i am interested by myself), working out, looking for part time jobs, doing things that i want. i have met a few friends during my first year undergrad studies, but i don't hang out with them.

and that's bascially how i spend my time.

[Soapbubble]

You wouldn't say that if you had two older brothers :|

[Asandir]

I am an only child, and was always quite happy with it, if you are bored, then you should meet friends.

[Ragnarokia]

only having you means you get loads of stuff and it isnt shared between others. You get lots of love and attention also.

Also only children are the way forward if we want to not have even more population growth.
