Having siblings are one of the most beautiful things one can always pray for in life because it's always nice to have someone who we can share our ordeals with, someone we can trust, and someone to lean on when passing through a hard moment. Just like parents are important, Siblings also play an important role in individual life, there are so many times that we feel more comfortable telling our siblings things that we might not tell our parents, it might be the experience we had in school, a specific topic, relationship or any ordeal. just like me, there are some secrets I can tell my siblings rather than telling my parents and I'm sure the majority of people are like that, if not all.
Sibling relationships can be an extraordinary source of assistance, and I could remember while we are growing up together, we always do everything together, including the house chores, and this will make us stress less. When I'm the only one at home, doing the house chores, I always feel tired even when I have done nothing, but having my siblings around always gives me the strength to do more, because we do them together. While I was growing up, I love to have them around, because they serve as a companion to me, sometimes we fight, and we also come together to play and that's one of the fun parts of having siblings, sometimes I wonder how life will be for some people who don't have none, especially during childhood.
However, despite the fun of having siblings around me, at a point in time, while I was growing up, I wish I had fewer siblings, like two siblings. Not that I don't love all my siblings, infant, they are one of the people I cannot do without, even if I'm angry and I decided not to talk to them, I will still be the first person to talk them, just because of the love and bond we shared. Even with the fact that I loved them, I wish to have just two siblings at a point because of the situation of the country, survival is always easy, My mother was the only one doing all the expenses alone and I could feel her burden, So I thought having fewer siblings will have lessened her burden. They should have just been last born instead of giving birth to another two siblings, that was the silly thought I have inside of me then, sound selfish right...lol
Little did I know that the last two siblings will be the ones I'll love the most, So as everyone was growing up, my older siblings don't longer stay with us, due to different reasons, like school and work, they only come home once in a while, but my younger siblings have been the one keeping me company, My notion of having fewer siblings changed, I was thankful for have more siblings, had it been I was the last born just like I had wished back then, I can't imagine how bored I will be staying alone in my home. Now, it's only our last born that is home alone with my mother, and whenever I came back from school, she's always there to keep my company, because she can talk till the dry bone will rise..lol, she can be so annoying Sometimes, but trust me, you can have a fun moment with her.. hehe, Having more siblings is a blessing to me.
