When people find out you're an only child, they tend to ask how that was. I'd say it was pretty great. It has its pros and cons, but I'd imagine that having siblings would as well.
1. Everyone Assumes You're Spoiled
Let's face it, the moment you admit to being an only child, people think you're spoiled. This may or may not be true. Some children may be spoiled, while others are just loved.
2. Family Is Truly Everything
As an only child, you find that family will always be there for you, and you for them. Growing up, it's you and your parents. The bond you create is unbreakable.
3. All Of Your Parents Attention Is On You
You are your parents one and only. Their attention will be on you at all times.
4. The Pressure Is On You To Succeed
Want to be a stripper? No. How about a doctor or teacher instead. Your parents are going to want to see you do something with your life.
5. Being An Only Child Is Like Being A Unicorn
How many only children do you know? Being an only child is as rare as a unicorn.
6. You Don't Have To Learn To Share
Growing up, you don't have to share your giant pack of crayons, your prized toys, or your food. Everything is yours.
7. Boredom Is Real Sometimes
Most of the time you can't do a lot on your own. Games or activities call for more than one person. You'll have to ask your parents or friends because you don't have siblings around.
8. Puppy Dog Eyes Work For Everything
Flash those big puppy dog eyes of yours and a smile. The world is yours.
9. You Will Never Truly Be Someone's Aunt/Uncle
With no siblings, you wont have any nieces or nephews on your side.
10. Your Parents Are Going To Want Grandchildren
It all comes down to pleasing your parents. Someday, your parents are going to want grandchildren, and that task will be on you. Let's hope your child turns out perfect and not a terror.
11. You Might Wonder Why Your Parents Didn't Have More Than One
As an only child, you'll constantly wonder whether or not your parents stopped with you because you're perfect and they didn't think they could do better, or if one of you was enough. Don't worry though, your parents love you unconditionally. No matter what.
