      Counter point: This it to be expected. Victoria cross was first awarded in 1854, up until ww2 and in some places in 1st world even little after that families had many children because children we're still dying often at the time.

    I grew up the eldest of 5 siblings living in a 1,100 square foot home with both parents ! Dad worked 10 to 12 hours 5 days a week and occasionally worked a second job, while my mom was a full-time homemaker ! We almost always had at least one of our friends, and usually more visiting after school ! Weekends and summer days especially were loaded with extra kids in the home ! We socialized plenty ! I'm 65 now and my mom recently passed away at the age of 85 , and lot's of those kids who are now nearly retired themselves came to the showing and funeral to pay respects and tell my dad how they felt so much at home at our house ! They felt part of the family !

I homeschooling them all , part of homeschooling meant learning life skills, food shopping, cooking, cleaning a home, both my daughters and daughters were taught to clean bathrooms, shop for bargains and helping others out . I did not I t want my children. to be spoiled because their dad was a dentist. For Christmas they each received a toy and an outfit. If you asked my adult children if they felt they had enough toys , they would say yes. We did have a large library of books and different types of music. They were not isolated socially , they were with people of all ages , rather than just those in their age group. They work very hard can shop clean and cook . My second son bought himself a house at age 26 He is single and enjoys the home he is working for , I am proud of him ,he knows the value of money and buys only necessary things of better quality

Hard to move on when they grow up and leave and they are not with you every day. And the partners they choose! Even when they ask your advice it's a ploy. It's BS. I spoiled her rotten and loved her too much.
      God bless you. Pray and God will work miracles. It's important to continue to stay in contact even if they don't want to. I made a lot of mistakes when she chose idiot men. Should have kept my mouth shut. Just keep the lines of communication open and pray. Especially pray. God bless you🙏✝️❤️

    I had one child because I couldn't have more. I did over protect. There is great value in allowing your child to fail. Swooping in hurts them by not allowing them to solve there own problems and Lear failure in some things does not mean you are a failure. It teaches get up, brush yourself off, keep going.

      My dad told me once that when I was 2 years old, an old woman saw him with me in his arms outside the bus (we didn’t have much money back then) and cam to him to say this « there is nothing worse than having only one child. You have to at least give your son another sibling because he won’t grow up properly otherwise ». Now I do believe that she was somewhat right because it’s the easiest way to learn about sharing, about caring for someone else and about giving the right exemple. I always remember when I got candies in school I would always get another one specifically for my sister, and that’s not something I would have done otherwise

      The point is we learn how social trends affect children and the future generation and then we can make changes. I think having no siblings is far worse than having “too many”. Large families are part of the evolution of our species. We’re social creatures and our family is our first experience with society.

    I grew up with 11 siblings, 4th oldest brother. I was fortunate to be born in this position as I was able to learn from the mistakes of my older 3 siblings. Now that I’ve done that I am a month from turning 20 and I’ve been married nearly half a year and I am already minutely successful with a lot more coming up soon. My parents were particularly poor so my younger siblings being able to see the lives all 4 of us older kids live gives them a perfect platform to decipher what decisions are best to follow, my younger brother is a bit of a hooligan, he’s the 3rd youngest but he’s so tough for 10 years old and he’s a mirror copy of me, he learns best from my council which I find to be incredibly interesting as my parents sometimes struggle to get him to listen, although they are very respectable, he wouldn’t skip a beat to heed advice from me. It’s truly a wonderful thing being apart of such a big family. Resources are thin but the livelihood of my family is a level people wouldn’t understand unless they lived with us, only few friends of ours truly grasp it.

    Helicopter parents are micro managers of their kids - always hovering over them, shielding, advising and coddling. However, developing resiliency is what kids truly need to navigate this uncertain world.

    Being an only child SUCKS!!!!! No one to watch your kids, no one to vent to about the parents you share upsetting you, no one to encourage your limits through healthy competition. No one to share looks and or manorisms, no one to borrow stuff from, no one to argue about what actually happened 10yrs ago at the bbq and they broke their arm. No one to go on adventures and trips with you. No one to give a speech at your wedding. The list goes on and on. 😭😭Trying not to be a crybaby but I definitely still get emotional on this subject as an almost 40yr old only child.
    I guess its good that I did not repeat the trauma. My first pregnancy brought twin boys ☺️

    My siblings taught me sooo much growing up. I really had no idea until I was older how much I learned from them. One time my sister got a new shirt and I loved it and I wanted to wear it so bad. She said no, she wanted to wear it first. I was so disappointed. Later in my life when we got older, I got a new shirt and my sister loved it. She said to me, can I borrow it after you wear it? I let her wear it first. She showed me the importance of morals and consistency in life. I know when I speak to her I can take her words for truth.
    My brother and I fought like cats and dogs. We were super close in age and he legitimately had adhd which made him overwhelmingly obnoxious. As I got older and saw how great of a human being he turned out to be, I felt sooo bad for the times I hit him, or made him feel ashamed or sad. I have talked about it to my kids often as a parent. I can tell them from experience that one day your will regret the hate you out on your siblings. Change it now because you can’t take it back. They taught me about strength, love, forgiveness, kindness, greed, selflessness, relationship, respect, and the list goes on and on!

    As someone with nine siblings, I can confirm this is true but it's a good thing to have more siblings. I cannot imagine my life without ALL my siblings. It would not be the same and all my siblings agree. We feel bad for people that only have one sibling or are an only child. Kids like this tend to get more lonely and depressed and don't it's harder to find a babysitter while the oldest sibling always watched the younger kids when my mom needed to go shopping. I noticed people without siblings are more entitled and selfish because the never had siblings who could teach them how to share. Everything was just handed to them by their parents. It's better for a child's growth and development to have siblings. Kids encourage each other and strengthens the entire family. Conflicts and arguments are a normal part of growing up. Sibling relationships build a person's character. This also helps siblings learn important values and life skills.

    even with one little sister, my mom made it a point that she was the precious one. i was only toughened up by my sister because i was raised essentially to be my mom's free childcare by the age of 11 until i was 18. i learned to use the laundry machines, dishwasher, stove, oven, check books, lawnmowers, and even chainsaws so my sister could be taken care of, my sister is in her mid 20's now and still doesn't know how to use a dishwasher. and when it came to resources, my family gave everything to my sister but not me, especially when i did need those resources or would've appreciated some of the opportunities that were just handed to my sister when i had to work for them. i hate to say it, but i'm more than happy that i wasn't favorite child, i was forced to toughen up and grow up very quickly, while my sister is still a soft, spoiled child. on a side note, parents, please don't make the favorite child so obvious, it'll severely ruin the siblings' relationship over time and in adulthood

    As someone with 7 siblings this subject is fascinating, because my family basically had 2 subsets of kids that were raised differently - the older 4 and the younger 4. The older set was raised by young parents who had almost nothing but the younger set was raised by older parents who were very well off, and you can actually see a marked difference in ambition and worldviews. It's not quite that stark obviously since the changes were gradual, but still very interesting to see.

    This is so true. Being a full time housewife and mother of 4 for the past 23 years I have seen my children bond and also have seen how competitive they are. We have been a family with one income, as we did not want anyone else raising our children. Yes it has been tough some days , but we believed that bringing them up with within a traditional home would be the best upbringing for them. My children are being raised with values a lot of this generation do not have and honestly, they are becoming better people because of it.

    I was to my mother 2cd born. To my father 3rd born. My father walked away from all of us.
    I acted like the eldest because my older brother acted like an only child. So I cared and protected my younger siblings. He'd often try to steal their food and I'd stop him. This caused huge fights (yes physical fights) in our teen years. As Id stand up for them. After my mother had a stroke I had to raise my younger siblings and become my mother's carer. My older brother moved out of home and we only saw him 2-3 times of a number of years. Until he became homeless and we took him in.
    Siblings definitely can shape your character.

    I made this mistake with my oldest from my previous marriage. I remarried and had a baby and instead of being happy to see her only sibling, she disowned me and said I abandoned her. She was 23 yrs old. Children need at least one sibling. I did my oldest a disservice by not providing her a sibling when she was younger. The step children adore their baby sister and she is happier as a result.

    It's all about the character of the person. I am the only child of my now decreased parents, they each had another child with other partners. Both of my sibblings thought me what I did not want to be as a person. My brother grew up so over protected, my father and his mother gave him everything, he had no clue on how to face challenges, he was and is useless bcs of the over protection. Still at 52 continues to be entitled. My sister on the other hand had it tougher but still managed to improve herself. And yes, as the older sibling the weight to be the best was daunting. But I don't blame anyone for this, instead I used these examples and experiences to become better, to improve myself which I did and having only one child wasn't a bad idea, my son is self sufficient and utterly independent bcs I made sure he experienced life for what it is. Having lots of siblings doesn't assure anything, sometimes they can be a burden but sometimes a blessing. Our life is our own responsibility not our families.

    This is also why getting married at 18 wasn't a big deal. The oldest was confident in taking care of children. They already had been helping their parents for years. If the eldest lived nearby after getting married the younger siblings helped raise the older siblings kids.... That's what the village actually was.
