Only Child?

Would you rather be an only child or have many brothers and sisters? 

Why?

  1. Think about your social life if you were an only child, just think about it.......... You would hardly get along with people at your school, talking to adults would be embarrassing, and you could never figure out your problems. Just think of this too..... You can't play baseball with your brothers or sisters, because you don't have anyone to throw the ball, hit the ball, or even run with the ball. That stinks!!!!
    But the good part about being an only child is you have more money available to you. Because your parents don't have to buy all of this other stuff your your brothers or sisters. This then adds up to a lot of family vacations for you and your parents. This is also a bonus, Christmas. You can pretty much get anything you want for Christmas, with all of this money you have available. But still, no brothers or sisters to play with on Christmas day. No one to sneak under the tree at 5:00 am in the morning to look at the presents. Just think about it, this would stink.

    Now let's talk about having a lot of brothers and sisters........ Having many brothers and sisters would be pretty cool, because you can play a lot with them. This then makes it easier for sport teams. It would be so much fun to have 4 on 4 or 5 on 5 for basket ball. That would be great!!! A great life!!! And a great social life!!!!!!
    But here's the problem, Money. The money part is hard, because the parents have to support all of those kids, and take care of them, feed them, take them to school, do all of that laundry, and many more chores too. This then goes to Christmas time. All of those kids must hardly get anything, because of how the parents money stretches. I can't imagine getting only like 1, 2, or 3 gifts for Christmas. And just think of your aunts, uncles, and grandparents who have to support all of you guys. This then goes to family vacations. When my family went to Disney World, It was like the biggest thing ever in our life, for 5 people to go to Florida, in one week, and come back. But when I wrap it all up............. I LOVE my family just the way it is :)

  2. I've got some experience because I've lived in both. I have siblings but I don't live with them now. So I wanna be an only child. You don't have to share anything with anyone. Nobody is breaking my stuff. More presents for different holidays and more money. They wouldn't forget my birthday. I also get more attention from your parents and more help with homework or bail money. Maybe you need a ride from your soccer game. Maybe the best thing is no fighting no one is pickin on me and it is quiet and no one is touching my stuff.

  3. I would definitely rather have brothers and sisters because then you have someone to talk to. If they are older than you they can help you out with sports and they can get you better. By having older siblings you are usually more mature than if you were a only child or if you sibling was younger than you. I like my family just the way it is because I have two wonderful parents and I have a older brother who cars about me and wants me to succeed. He also helps me with sports and he wakes me up every morning to go work out. When you’re the only child you are lonely and I just don’t get how people can play by themselves. So I would rather have siblings that are older than me and if I had a choice I would keep the one I have now.

  4. I would rather have brothers and sisters because it would be very boring. Even if I got mad at them it would be better because they help he with everything. Like my brothers could help me with homework or some game that is hard to beat. The girls could tell me what girls like and they could help me with my homework too. There would also be lots of bad things but I won't get in to that. They would pull lots pranks.

  5. No I would not like be an only child because it would be very boring. Also it would be boring going on a trip because you would have to find stuff to do on your own. Also there would be no one to play with. You would be bored and have nothing to do with out a brother or sister. There would be nothing to do with out them on days that you have to stay at home and be bored. I think that being an only child would be terrible. If I were an only child I would be so bored and want a brother or sister so bad because then I would be able to do stuff with them and have fun.

  6. I would rather had many brothers and sisters than be an only child. Having 1 brother and 2 sisters myself, I know that I like having siblings. Even though we fight sometimes, they can help me with homework, I can play games and sports with them, and they can back me up when I need them to. Without siblings, it would sometimes get lonely, and I would get bored. I like how in my family there is 2 boys and 2 girls, not counting my parents. Having a brother, I can play sports, which girls tend to not play sports as much. Not saying that they can't, or that it is weird for them to play sports. Basically I would be lonely being an only child, and would rather have siblings, because they can help me in lots of ways like homework, teach me things, and much more.

  7. I don't really know this is a hard one because some times I'm happy that I have a sibling and some times I'm not happy that I have siblings so it is a very complicated matter.But I'm going to have to say that having a sibling would probably be better than not having a sibling. Why? Well I guess it is a little bit easier to have a sibling because you have someone to share chores with and also help you get out of trouble and someone to play with and stuff like that which a=can be really a plus sometimes. So yes it is almost the same but a sibling is a little better not by much but a little bit.

  8. Non of the above, trust me I can explain why. Alright so if you do not have any siblings you might get board. You might get board because you wont have somebody to pick on or play video games with or beat them in their favorite video games. But if you do have siblings you might get annoyed and cranky very fast. You might start to feel this way simply because your brother or sister will not leave alone and is very annoying. For me I would actually rather be a big brother to my little brother, but that wont happen.
