I
wanted to write about this long back. As I am only child to my parents; I know
how it would be. Let me brief you some points about being the only child.
1. Questions
from outsiders:
I don’t know why they ask
such stupid questions. As if all the single children are breaded in zoo.
“Aren't you bored all the day?”
Of course not!! Why should
we? We are in our house/room with parents, not in jail. I wonder whether the homes
with multiple kids were ever bored.
“Ask your parents to give you a sibling”
This is the most stupid
statement given by our neighbouring aunties gave us. For your information, they
are not chocolates!!
That decision belongs to my parents.
That decision belongs to my parents.
“You must be enjoying your father's hereditary”
By the way, who’s hereditary
that you were enjoying?
2. No
competitions all ours parents love:
Yes!! I can proudly say
that my parents love is not shared. You think I am selfish? Let it be.
Remember last time when you
became jealous when your parents asked you to share your chocolates with your
sibling.
3. Broad
mind towards cousins and friends:
We open our arms wide for
all our cousins and friends. We don’t limit our brotherly/sisterly love to one
or two persons. See how broad minded we are!!
4.
Becomes extrovert or introvert/more
straight forward:
Being single child, we talk
extremely less or more not in between. And we talk straight. Less drama
everywhere!!!!
5. Cultivates
proper hobby:
Don’t know whether a kid
with siblings depends on hobby or not. We depend on hobby completely and deeply.
6. Slight
remorse on Rakshabandhan:
On the day of Rakshabandhan,
our social media would be filled with brother sister pictures, and quotes about
their love. Sometimes it makes us sad.
7. We
are creative!!!
We spend more time alone,
our imagination will be strong. Fictional play, imaginative friends, alternate
universe, we had done it!!
8. Everything
is new:
Did you experience using
your brother’s or sister’s clothes, books, cycle? Hahaha.. We will get brand
new ones every time.
9. No
issues of privacy:
We don’t share our room
with our siblings, so no issues of privacy. My life!! My rules!!
10. Parents
become best friends:
As
we are only child, our parents focus will be on us. We talk anything and everything
with them. They become our first advisors and best friends.
There
may be many benefits of having siblings. But being only child makes us more
independent, self sufficient and ever loving child.
