[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My freshman roommate was an only child and she was SUCH A BRAT about space. This was one of the things I had in mind when I started sending my son (an only) to sleep away camp.[/quote]

I think it is important to do camps, activities and such with onlies, as you mentioned, for socialization purposes. To be fair, I likely would have been fine because I'm an extrovert by nature and not "weird" about people being in my space. I welcome it, really.

I roomed with a friend of mine who was an only, but she was quite the opposite of me, and I attribute it to HER upbringing (and personality, which could have been nurture, not nature - who knows?)

I have a 16 year old who didn't get a sibling until she was 8 AND she's a homebody with ADHD. I begged her to go to sleepaway camps and she wasn't interested. Her first time away from home that wasn't going to grandparents' houses was last year. She is probably going to struggle a bit, but it is her personality.[/quote]
