So many people keep asking me do I like being a single child or not? They ask me don’t I feel lonely without any sibling. Well I don’t. Being a single child has its own pros and cons. On one side all the pampering and love is showered and on other hand, rules are also many and stricter discipline. Demands are fulfilled easily but expectations are higher.
It’s not that I never wanted siblings, not that it was my choice either! But when I was young I was scared to share the love of my parents with any other person. May be I was too young to understand, but I use to always tell my parents that I don’t want any siblings. I guess somewhere down the line, I still have not got over that fear. Now that I have grown up all I tell my parents is that I wouldn’t mind siblings, but my only condition is if I have an elder brother or sister. I want to be the young one, and not the elder one. I want to be the crazy young pampered child and not the mature, understanding and disciplined elder. It is quite strange how I have evolved in terms of a person who has got such diversity in thoughts on this matter.
Single child or having siblings is not very much a topic of discussion I understand. But it is very interesting to know how we all have different views on having siblings! Some like it and some don’t. But I think there is lot more to it than meets the eye!
