They both have their own advantages and disadvantages if you ask me.

I heard being an only child is awesome, until your parents die. You don’t have anyone to share the grief with in the same way. Other than that, I would trade it for the world. You get spoiled while learning to be independent at the same time. And you rarely get lonely because you learn to enjoy your own company. You also don’t care much for what other people think of you because your self image is so well contained and you know you are your own best back-up in any situation.

I did have a very large, very close extended family so I always had cousins to hang out with and play with………. when I felt like it. ;)
