Is being the only child better than having siblings?

I say no. I get lonely a lot and having a sibling helps me with that.

But what about you?

I mean I do have sisters butt uhh I don’t live with them and I’m literally better off that way without them so for having no siblings around is rad.

yes and no.
I feel like having sibling(s) teaches you a lot and gives you skills on how to deal with different people but also they could tear u down pretty quick and be toxic sometimes

just depends i guess

It has ups and downs. Being the youngest my brother and sister have set the bar on education in a way, so I feel like I need to at least get oj the same level.

When I was young I hated my brother and sister and I wished I was only child. Then me and my brother got closer and the past few years, my sister and I have started to be closer too.

Having siblings also means you have always someone to talk to, and when they are older, you can ask them advise and when they are younger… I’m not sure probably give advise or smth.

It completely depends on the person.

But one thing’s for sure - one child means you’re a parent, more than one child means you’re a referee for life.

My siblings are a pain in the @ss, but I couldn’t imagine not having them lol
They teach a lot of life lessons, like sharing, compromise, how to win fights, how to deal with kids, how to manage anger and frustration, how to treat minor wounds when things get out of hand ect. - things that an only child doesn’t necessarily get otherwise

Nah I like having the sister around most of the time, we’ve gotten a lot closer because covid and our parents didn’t let us leave the house and they hardly let her talk with her friends so LMAO

Yeah it’s nice to have someone to complain to about the parents and like we’re experiencing the same home life (welllllllllll but that’s another story) but she gets it ya

No… I’m an only child, and I used to get lonely as a kid whenever my friends were doing family activities. I even had imaginary siblings. :rofl: :rofl: And now, I wish I did have a sibling so I wouldn’t feel lonely.
