[quote=Anonymous]I’m 40 and I’m an only child and it’s awesome. Growing up at least one of my parents was at every game, play, dance recital, etc. my parents were frequent volunteers for Band boosters, could always carpool extra kids, and generally be there for me so that I could do a zillion extra curricular of my choosing. We went on vacations and only needed 1 room. It’s easy to get a table for 3 at a restaurant. I don’t have any sibling drama and my parents are great, involved grandparents to my kids. There are so many great things about being an only child as long as your parents have good boundaries and aren’t over protective, don’t put all their hopes and dreams on you as their “one chance”, and are able to give you appropriate freedom and independence as you go your teens and twenties. I definitely know some fellow only children who have very interdependent relationships with their parents and that’s tough for someone to marry into. [/quote]
