KSI am dismayed at this website… as a parent of an only child. Children without siblings are wonderful beings who learn how to get along in the world, share, and treat others respectfully – just by being in the world! I know many adults who are only children and they are well-adjusted citizens of the world who are just fine!
Nick RodneyThere is a lot of wonder when it comes to being an only child. I personally believe having a sibling will make life a bit easier, but things can be perfectly fine as an only child. Of course, an only child may have more than if a family had more than one child. But, having a sibling could help each other grow to be different people altogether. I personally think it depends on the upbringing. It all comes down to the parents and how they raise an only child or two or more children.
JacksonI think there are way more disadvantages to having an only child, for the child. Compared to the disadvantages of having a larger family, for the parents. You should decide which is worse for you and your spouse before deciding that you cannot raise 1 child, or even a small family.
