Personally, I consider that this topic, besides being very interesting and unique for each person, does not have an exact answer. As someone would be able to say that it is better to be an only child or in the same way to say that it is better to be part of a large family. I have 7 brothers, but because of things in life I only had one daughter. And I can only say that every experience of life is unique and should be fully enjoyed.
When a family is programmed, they never really know how many children they will have, some would like to have large families with many children, while others decide to have one or a maximum of two.
To be an only child.
When you are an only child you have the benefit of having all the attention of your parents and relatives, as well as all the material objects, but it tends to be a disadvantage when all the relatives take care of you in excess, since this way they limit the personality of the child and do not let create their own security, which is important to be able to function in a social environment. In addition to not having anyone to play with at home, the friends you gain over time become those brothers you did not have.
Have brothers.
Having brothers is a blessing from God, you will have to share the attention and the material objects, but you will have a person with whom to play and share secrets, it is someone with whom you laugh and fight, but they always love each other. It is an unconditional support that you will have for life and from whom you will learn a lot.
Advantages and disadvantages of being an only child or having siblings.
There are no advantages or disadvantages, but a correct education with values and family integration. It is known that when one is a child, the events of life are not completely understood, it is up to the adults to guide and make everything easier to understand. There are children who will be sad because they are only children and others who are jealous of having siblings, so it is essential that parents from an early age talk with their children about each stage that is happening or may happen.
Part of the adults that their children are happy whether they are only children or have siblings. Since each stage is unique and valuable, they should take full advantage of not feeling sad in the future about the things they could not achieve simply because they feel uncomfortable in the family nucleus.
If you are a father, as an only child, you want your child but you do not overprotect him too much as it will be a mistake for his development. Learn that to want is not to consent, promotes values and communication. And if you are an only child, enjoy your whole family to the fullest, learn to be independent and sure of yourself, defend your dreams and make great friends, who will be your brothers of love.
If you are a father of two or more children, never compare them, each one is unique and special, dedicate time equally and encourage family activities. Communication and respect will be fundamental for them to develop love in each one. And if you have brothers, love them and learn from them, since they will be your accomplice in each of your activities, they will be your best friend, that person who will keep your secrets and will love you without condition.
