A potential dialogue between you and them
You: You mentioned that being an only child has its perks, correct?
Only Child: Yes, I do enjoy having all the attention to myself and not having to share anything.
You: Indeed, and having full control over the TV remote is a plus, isn’t it?
Only Child: Absolutely. I also appreciate not having to worry about someone eating all my favourite snacks – they are mine alone!
You: That makes sense. Additionally, being the only child means we avoid sibling rivalry and competition. It’s all about us!
Only Child: It’s nice to have all the clothes and toys to myself without any hand-me-downs from siblings.
You: I agree. However, there are downsides as well. For instance, we are always held responsible for any messes without any siblings to blame.
Only Child: Yes, that can be frustrating. We also carry all the expectations and responsibilities alone.
You: That’s a valid point. It can be quite pressure-filled at times. And we lack the convenience of a built-in personal assistant or someone to get things for us.
Only Child: It would be helpful to have that extra support sometimes. On the flip side, we avoid annoying siblings encroaching on our personal space.
You: Exactly. Also, being the only child results in being the primary focus of our parents’ attention, doesn’t it?
Only Child: True. Yet, it sometimes feels like our parents view us as test subjects for their parenting approaches.
You: That’s an interesting perspective, but I see your point. Overall, being an only child has its positives and negatives, but it does make us distinct and special.
Only Child: Absolutely. While we may not have siblings, we have unique advantages and a one-of-a-kind experience.
