I was wondering: What kind of household did you grow up in?
2 parents? 1 parent? Siblings? Pets? Do you remember what your house or bedroom was like?
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
my bf was an only child too, which is insane to someone with 3 older sisters, but he said he loved it! he said he never once felt like an only child because he had so many friends and it forced him to create stronger bonds with friendsOriginally Posted by ut0pia
2 parents, only child..it was kinda boring then to be honestBut now looking back I'm happy this way, I don't think I would have preferred to have had siblings.
I didn't have a long term pet, I had bunnies and hamsters and guinea pigs, but my parents never thought I was responsible enough to take care of a larger pet, and they didn't have the time to do it because they both worked full time and were really into their careers, I guess they figured a kid is enough to worry about lol..
For me it was harder to make friends having been an only child, because having any kind of friendship requires some kind of compromise...maybe you won't feel like going to the movies but your friend will really want to so you do it for them, etc...But I had trouble with this kind of stuff, I was used to always doing what I want, when I want it, etc..As a child I surrounded myself with "friends" who basically followed me around and it wasn't a balanced kind of friendship. It took a long time for me to learn how to be friends with people!! In fact I am still learning, and a lot of times instead of hanging out with people I choose to just hang out by myself and watch a movie or read a book, because I am on my own time, and I get exhausted by being around people, even if it's good friends, for a long period of time..Originally Posted by RiffxRaff

I can relate to the mother thing.Originally Posted by -_aj_-
I grew up with two parents and two brothers, 90 percent of the time its unhappy because my mother hates me and won't speak if I'm in the same room
