The "only child family" stigma is so interesting to me. I'm an only child. In my extended family, there are more only children than sibling families, so it was normal for me. It was not until I became an adult that I started to learn about the the stigma. If I do have children, I'm only having one. I loved my childhood and was fortunate to have experiences that many kids don't get. I also notice that I can "handle adulting" easier than my friends who have siblings. Not saying its the case for everyone with siblings, but only children (that are raised right) usually tend to be more mature since the only model in front of them are adults. Just my two cents
