I'm an only child. Growing up it kind of ****** if my friends weren't around then I never had a sister to pester or brother to do anything with. Also, my dad would also take everything out on me so I couldn't have a sibling help take some of the fall.
As a young adult, it is awesome. I don't have to share anything and I will inherit everything from my grandma and parents whenever they go. My mom had a bunch of siblings and they all fought over my grandpa's property. It was a big clusterfuck that has pretty much split some of the family apart. Only thing that does **** is that when it comes to paying for a funeral and sorting out all the stuff in my parents house, I won't have any help.
Yeah, siblings ****. There are a few people that are really close to their siblings and have great times, I envy them in a way.
