Re: What's it like being an only child?

[(Anonymous)]

I always wanted a younger sibling. I don't think it was because I was lonely in the traditional sense, but I really wanted someone to look after and take care of and, selfish as it sounds, I wanted someone to share the difficulty of dealing with my divorced parents. They divorced when I was practically still a baby, so that there was ever a chance of me having a sibling from both parents was always pretty much impossible, and I knew that but still irrationally wanted one. The only time I was aware of having my parents' undivided attention was when they were fighting about me, so it was negative attention I would have been glad to share. I also didn't really like lots of attention in any case, I was shy and self-conscious.

And I was really confused when I found out that people expected me to have lots of toys and things because I was an only child. I had less stuff than most of my friends, and most of my friends had siblings. (Some of those friends and their siblings were also the kind of kids who'd point to something they saw in a store and say "I want that" and their parents bought it for them on the spot. I tried that maybe once with each of my parents and they both reacted like "are you kidding me")

Oh, and as for being jealous of friends with siblings? I had phases where I'd get so jealous that I didn't want to go to their houses to play because their sibling(s) would be there, but it was more than that, it was also that they always had parents who were together and happy or, in the case of my one friend, amicably divorced. All in all if I thought my friends' families were more "complete" than mine, being reminded of that made me extremely jealous and upset. I didn't tell them that directly, but they might have figured it out when I'd just talk about my family woes.
