Personal Question.....

[CailinDeas]

Are any of you only children? If so, what difference did that make in your life so far??

[tinkerbell23]

Me!

My friends comment how im the most unspoilt only child they know- i share an kind......even if as a kid i had every toy and clothes going!!

It had had a detrimental effect on my relationship with especially my mother x

[Duncer]

Backtracking? Where?

About West Korea. No wonder they got the flags as mixed up as you are?

[owdhamer]

You would not want another like me, made dennis the menace look like goody two shoes.

[La4fette]

No it was a mistake duncer so not backtracking at all.

"L4 Why did you have to get directions to your house?"

I'm giving a friend the direction to my house.

[Mamyalynne]

L4 what did you do to get suspended in your other name?

[La4fette]

I haven't done nothing wrong mamyalynne.

I thought it was just a computer glitch?

[Mamyalynne]

Never heard of a glitch causing a suspension, still you were reregistered in a new name very quickly - go you!

[Duncer]

"No it was a mistake duncer so not backtracking at all."

It was indeed a mistake; you mistook North Korea for a country and then argued it existed. Then you backtracked and said it was a tyypo.

Over to you.........

[sir.prize]

So La4fette is suspended and L4afette is banned. What an exciting evening.

I suppose it depends on your character and on your parents for a start.
My parents largely treated me as a little adult . I was expected to sort out all my own problems as a result I never look or expect others to help. This independence also means some difficulty in socialising . In business I found it difficult to delegate responsibility which of course increases ones workload .
In times of trouble it would have been nice to have had a sibling to discuss/share the problem with. At least I think so but I find talking to my daughters about a problem rarely helps it only confuses the matter so maybe having siblings isn't necessarily an asset.
As oldgeezer says how would I know ?

My Mum was an only child (up to the age of 12).
My Dad was an only child (a brother pre-deceased Dad's birth).
I am an only child.
My son is an only child.

I think we've all wished that we had siblings at some point......and I think that we have been equally grateful that we haven't at others.

We are all well-balanced individuals and I don't think it *is* possible to speculated what life would have been like if we had had brothers or sisters.

[jackthehat]

*speculate, of course.

I wonder if I had had siblings I would have gone off and set up my own business.
I hated my time in the army I resented being told what to do with my life.
I wanted to do things my way . Working as a team is difficult for the only child unless the parents encourage the child to join clubs and organisations. Mine didn't . I tended to team up with other only children .
