only child? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 04-10-2003, 03:53 PM

Nope. I have one younger sister...and some cousins who seem almost like sisters.

~Tropical Punch 19~ · 04-10-2003, 04:26 PM

i am. it has it's pros and cons.
pros- you get more stuff, get mroe attention, and act mroe mature cuz u are with a lot more adults.

cons- you get wtached more closly, you can act selfish amoung other, and you can get bored sometimes

Mossopp · 04-10-2003, 05:00 PM

I am an only-child. I don't like it but I don't dislike it - it's all I know. You know?
I dunno why people assume that only-children are gonna be spoilt brats. My parents only had one child to worry about and yet they still managed to pay me very little attention. If anything, they - my father in particular - insulted me and put me down at every opportunity they got. They still continue to do it to this day. I don't think they actually realise the damage they've done to my psyche over the years. Perhaps they thought that hurting me would make me stronger. Whatever their reasons, I hate them for it. My own mother told me that I'm "not a normal girl" and that I "don't look human". Is that the sort of thing a mother should be saying to her daughter????!!? What ever happend to unconditional love?!??
Sometimes I wish I had a brother or sister. It would be cool to have a younger sister - someone who looked up to me. Kirsty (my best mate) has a younger sister who adores her and I love just watching the two of them interact cos they have such a great relationship. I think it'd also be nice to have an older brother - someone who could give me advice about women and stuff.
Anyway, I'm Mossopp (or L.J. or Lorna or the "inhuman" girl......whatever you wanna call me) and I'm always gonna be an only child so there's no use in wondering what might have been. You gotta be happy with your lot in life, huh?

Nope. I was until I was two and a half and then my brother was born.

Krystal Lake · 04-10-2003, 05:26 PM

I am. I have two half-brothers, but I didn't grow up with them.

Sometimes it bothers me when I see a family on television and there's that sibling-bond they have. To have someone who knows where you're coming from 'cause they grew up in that same environment, too.

That's true for me anyway. I hung out with adults. I was always 15 going on 28.

That's true for me too and I'm not even an only child. I am the oldest though. Ever since I was about 12, people have always been saying I'm mature beyond my years.

*MIBabe03* · 04-10-2003, 05:51 PM

I have a sister who is 6 years younger then I am. My sister and I are complete opposites of each other. I hope that when we are both adults, that we will have a better relationship.

I am an only child, and I know what you mean. I can barely stand having a conversation with people my own age or younger...they don't seem to understand anything.

JDS84 · 04-10-2003, 08:21 PM

Nope. I have 2 older sisters.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 04-10-2003, 10:18 PM

I am....sadly. I hate it with a passion. It gets lonely.

i agree w/ that too.. i grew up always around my parents, my grandparents, my aunt, and my cousin (late 20s) w/ very few friends my own age until i started school.

i remember being 4 years old when i realized i wasnt the only kid in the world...
