I was an only child for 20 years, until my parents had my brother(they had tried for a long time; fertility problems, etc)

1.Did you like it?
Hell yes I liked it. I would go over to my friends' houses and they would constantly be fighting with or yelling at their siblings, and I was always so glad I didn't have to deal with that crap.


2.Were you lonely?
Sometimes-but you learn to make friends or amuse yourself.


3.Were you spoiled?
Yes. I was. And now, whenever I'm acting bratty( cuz that only child comes out now and then) my mom and my fiance's favorite thing to make fun of me is to whine " Ugghh, lobster again??". I whined that once when I was little because my mom cooked lobster alot and I was tired of it. Now I love it! But anyhoo...


4.For those w/ adopted or step sibs, how did you adjust when they came along?
My parents had my brother when I was 20, and I was not happy. When they told me, I cried so much that my ex's mom thought someone in my family had died. I didn't want to not be an only child anymore!! After I while, I got over it, and now my brother and I are so close!!

5.How did you adjust in the real world (dorms, roomates, lodging when out of town)?
Adjusting wasn't a problem really. I'm pretty laidback, so unless you were totally heinous and pissed me off daily, I go talong with anyone.
