Me!

My friends comment how im the most unspoilt only child they know- i share an kind......even if as a kid i had every toy and clothes going!!

It had had a detrimental effect on my relationship with especially my mother x
Backtracking? Where?

About West Korea. No wonder they got the flags as mixed up as you are?
You would not want another like me, made dennis the menace look like goody two shoes.
No it was a mistake duncer so not backtracking at all.

"L4 Why did you have to get directions to your house?"

I'm giving a friend the direction to my house.
L4 what did you do to get suspended in your other name?
I haven't done nothing wrong mamyalynne.

I thought it was just a computer glitch?
Never heard of a glitch causing a suspension, still you were reregistered in a new name very quickly - go you!
"No it was a mistake duncer so not backtracking at all."

It was indeed a mistake; you mistook North Korea for a country and then argued it existed. Then you backtracked and said it was a tyypo.

Over to you.........
So La4fette is suspended and L4afette is banned. What an exciting evening.
I suppose it depends on your character and on your parents for a start.
My parents largely treated me as a little adult . I was expected to sort out all my own problems as a result I never look or expect others to help. This independence also means some difficulty in socialising . In business I found it difficult to delegate responsibility which of course increases ones workload .
In times of trouble it would have been nice to have had a sibling to discuss/share the problem with. At least I think so but I find talking to my daughters about a problem rarely helps it only confuses the matter so maybe having siblings isn't necessarily an asset.
As oldgeezer says how would I know ?
-- answer removed --
My Mum was an only child (up to the age of 12).
My Dad was an only child (a brother pre-deceased Dad's birth).
I am an only child.
My son is an only child.

I think we've all wished that we had siblings at some point......and I think that we have been equally grateful that we haven't at others.

We are all well-balanced individuals and I don't think it *is* possible to speculated what life would have been like if we had had brothers or sisters.
*speculate, of course.
I wonder if I had had siblings I would have gone off and set up my own business.
I hated my time in the army I resented being told what to do with my life.
I wanted to do things my way . Working as a team is difficult for the only child unless the parents encourage the child to join clubs and organisations. Mine didn't . I tended to team up with other only children .
