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 the opposite. i was an only child but sometimes it actually seemed a bit lonely. yeah i had my parents but i still felt it whenever i played a video game or read a book or watched another disney movie for the 100th+ time. i was doing those things alone. my BF however is the 2nd youngest of 13 and the stories of his siblings sound chaotic and sometimes all he wanted was to be alone but it seemed nice being surrounded by so many loved ones. im lucky they now treat me like a lil sister to them.

so yeah grass is always greener on the other side.
