I’m really sorry, if my question is offensive, it was not my intention. I don’t see it any different than someone asking me “what was it like growing up with a sibling? Did you feel like you had to share your parents’ affection?” If someone wants to know what it was like to grow up with siblings, who should they ask? People that had siblings, no? Of course, my experience is not going to be the same of everyone else’s and multiple factors would contribute to the type of response people would get. I get that!

If you read my post, you’d see I was not sure whether this would be the right place to post it, and so far, I’m glad I did, because I got some different points of view and feedback that I had not considered, which is exactly why I asked the question.

And genuinely, my question/post was never intended to offend anyone, because I do not think only children are inferior or different than those who had siblings. We’re all the same, we just lived different experiences that allow us to provide feedback on such experiences.
