[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was raised an only child in a completely normal, loving house. Never wanted a sibling. My parents supported me without spoiling me. I had a great childhood and continue to have a good relationship with my parents now that I am an adult.

The number of siblings DO NOT matter. I have friends with siblings who hate each other. Another had 3 siblings and had an abusive father.  No family is perfect.

People on this board need to get over the only child shaming. It's insulting and hurtful.

❤️ Thanks for posting. People are unbelievably cruel about only children.[/quote]

+1 though I wouldn't go so far as "cruel." Maybe more "unimaginative and self-focused" because they cannot picture a family where everyone is fine with an only child, including the child herself.

I said cruel, because it is downright cruel to tell the many people didn’t get to choose their family size that their family is and always will be inferior. I have an only not by choice.[/quote]

THANK YOU for sticking to your guns. I have an only, and some people say awful things. In front of my kid, too.[/quote]
