I think some of those things are true to a point, but they're also often misconceptions. I was never really lonely or envious, and I never really thought about having my parents' undivided attention, but I took all of those things for granted. If I can't be alone after a while, I get very antsy, and I'm not good at speaking up in crowds because I never had to growing up.

In times of crisis I have wished I had a sibling, though, and tbh as my parents get older I sometimes wonder who's going to help me take care of them. But then I look at all the people I know whose siblings just let them do all the work, or the siblings who share the responsibility but argue all the way, and I think maybe it's okay that I'll be able to just handle it the way I want to, with the help of a husband and other family members, but not in a way that I worry that my brother or sister is sending Dad to the wrong nursing home.

Still, I have wished sometimes when one of my parents has been sick or injured that I had a sibling to talk to. I'm lucky to have close friends and cousins who are my foster brothers and sisters, but it's not always the same, you know?

Wow, this got deeper than I was expecting.
