1. I have four other siblings: two older stepbrothers, an older sister, and a younger brother. Usually we don't have all five under the same roof, but we did at one time. For awhile, we'd have my two siblings and one of the stepbrothers, and then my sister and stepbrothers started moving out, until it was eventually my little brother and me. Right now, we're pretty spread out. My stepbrothers live in Hawaii, my sister lives in Kansas, and my little brother is in Germany with the parents.

2. I like having brothers and sisters. It makes the house interesting, even if they're driving you up the wall at times. If you're alone, it's just really lonely. With siblings, you have someone closer to your age to talk to, and if you don't have friends, at least you have a sibling or two to turn to. So no, I wouldn't want to be an only child.

Um... I'm not an only child... I have three younger sisters and I wish I could have a brother. I can't though... I would prefer to be an only child because I quite like being by myself when I want to be, which is nearly all the time... So yeah, I wouldn't mind being an only child.
Er, I have a new account now. I was given permission by Sammi and Careful With That Axe, Pichu! to adbandon this account. Who am I now? Guess.

I have an older brother, but I felt throughout my childhood as if I was an only child. He'd go off to his friends most of the time, which means my parents spent a lot more time with me than with him. But as we got older and we grew up a bit more, we sometimes hang out, and it's at those moments that I really like having an older brother because I can relate to him more than I can my parents (even though we're completely different people).

I'm the eldest in the family and I have 2 younger brothers and no sisters (thanks goodness :P)...

I do think it's a lot of hardwork for being the eldest, for almost all the responsibilities are in me, they expect a lot from me, I should care my bros, I should be a model to them (and yeah, I'm the reason why they became so addicted to the computer and PKMN hacking/fan-game making :P)...

But yeah, it may have all the pressure, but it's fun at times. ;)

I wish my brother liked Pokémon as I do, so he would have the other version of the game.

Example: I would have Sapphire and he would have Ruby, I would have Fire-Red and he would have Leaf-Green, I would have Diamond and he would have Pearl, etc.

(PS: I own Fire-Red, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond and Pearl, I might get Leaf-Green instead of Fire-Red and I will have Platinum.)

I've got a 15 year old brother..he was way more fun when he was little, since now we don't relate to each other that much. Though he's still funny and nice when he needs to be; I wouldn't like being an only child, I like having another personality in the house, even if he does drive my parents insane.

I preferred being an only child.

Watching my sisters is annoying and just makes me angry all the time. =\ And they get so much stuff. All the time. Parents complain we're tight on money, yet buy all these "early" Christmas and birthday presents and then buy even more when Christmas and their birthdays actually come around.

Oh well.

I'm not an only child...unfortunately. I'm like the only person that would prefer not having a sibling. x_x Well I think I'd like a little sister rather than the pain of a little brother I have now.

He's really stupid and irritating and just anything else with a similar meaning. I mean he's okay sometimes but there's other times where I want to scream my loudest at him. -_______-

I am an only child, and sometimes I'm thankful, and sometimes I really wish it was the other way around. >: Even to have annoying siblings would be better than absolute solitude. I get so lonely sometimes, it really sucks. >: I just want someone to talk to, especially since I'm at that age where I don't really enjoy talking to my parents.. :x Talking to friends over MSN isn't really enough. There's a big difference between the internet and real life. Most people here wouldn't know about it lulz :x

But yeah, I don't always enjoy being an only child.

I have three brothers (I never knew my sister)
I actually like having brothers now that I'm older and more civilized. when I was younger I wished dearly to have been an only child. but now I see hat it's great having brothers to hang out with and do stuff like beach 4 wheeling and snowboarding with.

Being the only child means you're being pampered(a lot) by your parents. It's a lonely experience, with no one at home to share your talents and everything. Glad I'm not the only child in the family.
