That is a hard question...Yes and No...I don't know what to choose...but, since I am not an only child I would say No...but, I only have one kid...so yes?...all in all I would say No.

Well I feel lucky to have 4 siblings; it's a completely personal matter and for you to decide.

Well, I am an only child, and I considered myself lucky in the way that I had my parents' attention all to myself, didn't have to fight for that, or share my special stuff with someone else who might not take care of it. If I needed or really wanted something badly, I always got it because I was the only one they had to provide for. On the other hand, there was a lot of pressure (and that is a massive understatement) to make my parents proud, not do anything to shame them, make good grades, be the good girl, which I did well at, but it wasn't always easy. As an older teenager and now an adult, I would give about anything for a sibling to talk to, talk about our childhood, have cousins for my 3 children etc. So in ways, you are lucky, and in other ways, you are not.

Absolutely. I am also an only child. My wife is one of seven and they even had pets. My in-laws seem to treat the children and pets the same. I tried to treat my wife how lucky she is to share being the center of my parents attention but she calls me a spoiled brat. I guess it takes a very special person to be a one and only.

Neither lucky nor unlucky. It is just one circumstance you are dealt.

I am only child, and I always thought I was lucky. As I got older though, and went into my teens, I always wondered what it would be like to have a sibling. So in a way I feel lucky, but I've always had that thought about siblings in the back of my mind also.

I don't know. You probably missed out on a lot of things that come with having brothers and/or sisters. You will probably realize later in life how much you wished you had someone that close, besides a spouse, to share life experiences with. I couldn't imagine not having my brother and sisters around.

Yes, you don't have obnoxious brothers or sisters to hate. +5

Only you can really know that - do you feel lucky? Well do you?
-
Yeah of course because I'm Also!
-
Yeah lucky you.
-
i dont kno, you tell me..

It obviously has it's plus and minus points, personally i am glad i am not an only child and have experienced growing up and learning with my brother and sister.

Both situations have an up and down side. The good thing about being alone is that you never have to share anything and you do not have to fight to get attention from your parents. The downside might be that if your parents are busy you have no one to talk to/play with but playing alone should not be a hard thing to do with all the fantasy a young child has. So, lucky you are not, but its not that you are unlucky, fact is, you cannot change anything about it.

I think kids who grow up in a larger family are benefited more. they learn a lot of personality traits that are important. like sharing, and putting up with people.. idk just certain things
