Did you ever want to be an only child? I never did, but most only children say they loved it because they got everything they wanted and everything

revolved around them. I never wanted all my parents' attention like that. Childhood may be great for only children but adulthood is hard for many I've known. They have to deal with the fact that the world no longer revolves around them.

I was an only child, and everything did not revolve around me. I seldom was given things that I asked for.
My parents were very against that way of raising kids.
Of course, I grew up in the 60s and 70s which was a less permissive era... we were taught to work and wait for things.
