I have an older sister but she moved out when I was around 9 or 10 so I have been raised like an only child. I love my older sister and I have never had problems sharing with her. but I can't picture living with three or more siblings.

A completely subjective question. Good as in love, patience and companionship? Yes. Bad as in crowded, bickering and shared resources? Yes.

It depends.

Well you always have someone to hang out with, also you can buy your own if you didn't buy the one you share.

More than one sibling would drive me crazy. I have a cousin 3 years younger than me, same age as my sister who is ALWAYS at my house, and it bothers me to no end.

It depends, although, unless something is deeply wrong with you and/or family it should be quite the learning experience. When all of us lived in one house, I had the most fun with my brothers (2) and sister. As an adult (unless there's some sort of falling out) it's nice to have people that, hands down, no matter what, care about you and want you to succeed. Also, enjoying holidays with a big family (you don't necessarily need siblings for that) are always a lot of fun. Once you've grown up you're not going to reflect and complain about all the things you had to share, let alone remember.

I have a large family (4 siblings, 2 parents) and I love it. I'm currently a "lonely child" because all my siblings are in Canada, just me and my dad, and it's an absolute drag. No one to play Mario Party with, no reason to stay up (before we'd just laugh into the night, now staying up is boring for me), no one to play with, no one to laugh with, the house is so damn quiet, there are all these beds but no one is sleeping in them, there are all these toys but no one is playing with them, all these textbooks but no one is studying them, all these chairs but no one is sitting on them. Without my siblings and my family in general, this house is dead. I liked the days when at any given moment there would be at least 10 people in the house . It was always a party. Right now it's 7 PM and the house is pretty much asleep or minding their own business, how boring...

i think the question of how many kids you want running around depends on the parents. My parents only have two and they're already up to their necks raising us.

I wouldn't mind having an older sister along with my older brother though. Besides appearance, my friends say my brother has made me one of the guys. Even my brother said I was like a guy. My mom says I'm even more of a guy than my brother. :| lol. Yeeaah, it would be cool to have a sister to do all that girl stuff with. I'd rather not do that with my mom.

I don't really know, but I assume it's pretty difficult if you're the youngest....getting beat up by all the older ones :P. I only have one brother...we used to fight a lot when we were kids...had there been maybe one or two more of us...that would have always ended in huge brawls.

Get your own TV and play it on that. Or tell your folks you don't want anyone else using it.

That or actually smack your sister so she'll stop it. You get in trouble for hitting her even if you don't so you might as well do it. :lol:

Does he live far away or something? My older bro moved out a couple years ago and we hang out every week.

I think it is. My cousin is an only child and it has been really lonely for her since her mom and dad work long hours almost everyday. Plus siblings keep you company and share good childhood memories with you..

Well, it's good and than again it's bad. It's good because if your brother or sister is near your age, than you guys can play video games, watch movies,and stuff like that. If you were the only child, I would think it would get pretty boring. But the bad is that you get less stuff and you have to share some of your stuff.

no, it isn't good. the oldest brother or sister has to be a mother kind of to their younger brothers or sisters. when he/she is old enough to drive then he will be driving everywhere. the parents might be low on money with all of the things the kids need. i think that the family should only have like three kids the most. it will soon get expensive to have a lot of kids. when they become older it will as they all have their licenses, car payments, insurance payments.

What's wrong with sharing? Yes, you may not want to share - but it's a life long lesson you'll have to learn. I think sharing is a plus point FOR more children, not less.

it really depends on the siblings, but mostly it's a strain on resources, and that always leads to suffering, and fighting.
