Top Ten Reasons It's Better to Be an Only Child

The Top Ten
1 The house is nice and quiet

When you parents aren't fighting...

2 You don't need to share everything

Having siblings teaches and gives you values such as sharing. The selfishness of some of the items on this list only prove my point.

3 You don't need to worry about annoying siblings

I have an (annoying, embarrassing, ugly, stupid, nosy) sister and I hate her SO much! She is always embarrassing me in front of my friends, she is so lazy and never picks up her trash, and she never respects my privacy. She goes through my emails, computer, Google Docs, even my CLOSET!

I wish I could stuff her in a box, duct tape it, and throw her in the ocean. I won´t care if she dies.

Yeah. Siblings are annoying enough to make you want to sell them off on EBay.

I wish I had one my age. The sibling closest to my age is 13 years older than me.

4 You have your parents all to yourself

Then your parents will want to bother you more

5 You have a room all to yourself

Unless you're a middle child you will NEVER know the struggle

I have a room all to myself and I have a sister

6 You don't need to worry about hand me downs
7 You can go on more vacations because your parents save money faster due to the fact that they only need to care for one child

What if your parents make a lot of money?

8 Your parents love you more

Parents love their children all equally

9 Your parents give you more attention

I wish they gave me less attention!

And the rest of your relatives, too

I get a little more attention than my older sister because I’m the youngest LOL

10 You can get more fast food because your family has saved more money

Again, what if your parents make a lot of money?

The Contenders
11 People won't compare you to your sibling
12 You will have high self-esteem
13 You won’t get distracted while playing a game
14 You don’t need to share beds
