Sometimes, it sucks being the only child in the family. Although you will get all the attention from your parents but at times, you wish you have a company to share childhood memories with you. In my case, I always imagine having an older sibling to play with or watch over me, not because I am needy but somehow, with a sibling, two is always better than one, isn't it? There are a few problems that every only child will understand.

1. "Sharing is caring" is hard.

It actually is. I know as an only child, you probably also are a spoiled child who gets what they want. You try to, but it bugs you a lot when someone asks to share your food. You can't bear to see some of your possessions go missing, not even for a minute because you claimed them all. Admit it, no matter how generous you are, it is always tough to share. Seeing someone who has the same thing as you manages to annoy and upset you.

2. You have grown to be independent.

You tend to be socially awkward when you were with other kids at a young age since you were used to do things on your own. Of course, you don't mind making new friends but you would definitely find it weird to play with others, since you get used to play alone.

3. You hate being teased and laughed at.

Being self-centered can be pretty bad at times. Your parents would criticize you but only them. You aren't used to receiving negative feedback from another person. You believe you have all you have and others shouldn't have the right to say bad things about you.

4. You never have a chance to blame your siblings.

Yes, you take it all. If you do something wrong, it is all you. Sometimes, you wish someone will defend you or at least take half of the blame of any mistakes you made. However, that is pretty impossible but well, in the end of the day, you got to accept the fact that being the only child will always get all the attention and love from parents.
