I am the oldest, and its a lot of pressure, especially now that I'm an adult.
Are you the youngest, oldest, or middle child? Or are you an only child?

i’m the youngest child of 6 but there’s a big age gap between the first set of kids and the second set of kids— the first set of kids - they are my half siblings but i don’t view them that way
my eldest brother, him and i are 23 years apart
my oldest sister, her and i are 20 years apart
and then my second oldest brother, him and i are honestly i don’t know i think we’re 17-19 years apart
now the second set of kids include me
so now my youngest oldest brother, him and i are 2 and a half years apart
and my youngest older sister her and i are 13 months apart
and then there’s me
my eldest brother, him and i are 23 years apart
my oldest sister, her and i are 20 years apart
and then my second oldest brother, him and i are honestly i don’t know i think we’re 17-19 years apart

I'm an only child and I'm quite thankful that my parents never had anymore kids after me. I used to have two friends who are also sisters and the amount of bickering they did as kids used to drive me up the wall. They were also spoilt rotten and it did nothing but harm their maturity and outlook on life growing up whereas my mum and dad made sure I knew the value of money and hard work early on. I do sometimes wonder how I would've turned out if I had had a sibling growing up but overall I'm thankful to have grown up with a lot less stress that seems to come with having siblings.

I'm the oldest (unfortunately) and only daughter.
I have 4 brothers and their ages are: 30 years old (turns 31 this year), 28 years old? (I usually forget his age for some reason, but I know he's in his late 20's), 22 years old and 17 years old (turns 18 this year).

I'm the only child. I did wish I had an older sibling now and then growing up, but it was probably for the best I was the only one. Most of my family didn't want a female but also was annoyed I didn't like girly things. Also, when you don't have a sibling you don't have anyone to talk to when frustration was taken out on you, or anyone to talk to about what is normal or could be normal. You kinda just had to figure it out on your own, that takes longer when alone. Especially if you didn't have many friends to observe with thier families.
But a sibling could have been an added enemy or the complete focus of everything.
I do generally think it's probably healthier for people to have a sibling, but what do I know lol.

I’m the only child from my parents, but my dad re-married when I was 9 and my stepmom (RIP 
) had a 3 year old girl at the time. Then her and my dad had a baby boy when I was 12 and my sister was 6. So, I’ve been both an only child, and the oldest. I’d say qualities from both are evident in me - I don’t have a hard time doing things by myself, and many times prefer it that way, and I am DEFINITELY the most responsible of the 3 of us kids. I’m the only one who has had a career of any sort, while my siblings (29 and 23) have just bounced around from job to job and have no real idea of what they want to do in life. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that, just using it as my “experience of being the oldest sibling” example.

I am the youngest child. I have an older sister who I am very grateful for. As kids we weren’t close as she was cool beautiful and popular (I wasn’t 
)
As adults we are close and she is one of my best friends who I can rely on. We both have sons so both love and have always spoiled them. That has brought us closer and I am so grateful.

No, one mourns the wicked
Short answer: I’m the oldest. I have a little brother who is 4 years younger than me and a little sister who is 5 years younger than me.
Long, more truthful answer: I’m the oldest child all around, but I’m the only child both of my parents had together. (Parents divorced when I was really young) My little half brother on my mom’s side is 4 years younger and he lives with me. He is and always has been spoiled, and we are complete opposites. Despite all of our fighting, I still love him and I’ll be there to help him if he ever gets hurt.
My little half sister on my dad’s side is 5 years younger than me and she lives across the country. Our relationship is kind of rocky, since we moved so far away from each other when she was so young. We only ever see each other once a year. I really wish I had a better relationship with her, especially since as far as I know, we share a lot of interests and I would probably get along well with her.
I really understand the pressure of being the oldest, and it sucks. Pretty much my whole life I’ve been forced into the “little miss perfect” role, and my parents have very high expectations of me. Perfect attitude, perfect grades, be the example… it’s exhausting. It’s also really annoying when I’ll work really hard to prove I’m responsible enough for something, and then my little brother will throw a fit and he’ll get it. I wonder if it would be the same if I lived with my sister instead of my brother.
I hope things will get better between both of my siblings when we’re older.

Trust I seek and I find in you
I'm the middle child with two brothers. My younger brother is about one-and-a-half years younger than me (if you want specifics our age difference is one year, seven months, one week, four days, 18 hours, and ~30 minutes) and my older brother is four years older than me.
If you were to ask me if I'd rather be an only child, I wouldn't know what to answer. There are pros and cons to both sides (even though my brothers can be annoying!).

I’m the youngest. Being the youngest had some perks like my siblings always looking out for me. Financially too, once they both got jobs during high school. I’m very grateful for how much they have sacrificed for me.
Also, I’ve learned through their mistakes and what to avoid. Especially when it comes to spotting red flags in people.
The only downside to this is that I’m constantly in their shadows. Chances are that I’ll never be as successful as my middle sibling or a badass chick as my eldest.

I'm the middle child. I have an older brother, age difference of 3 years. My younger brother and I are 5 years apart. We've always been pretty close, even when we were younger. Sure, there were a lot of fights, but we always made up in the end. They do still get on my nerves, sometimes.
I am the youngest of 4! I do wish I had a younger sibling but my house would have been so full with 5 kids. I like being the youngest because I learn a lot from my siblings and help me a lot. My parents didn't give me any special attention or anything though except for when I was a baby, of course. There's a 5 year gap between me and my next in line sister. All of my siblings are closer in age

I am a younger sibling as I only have one older brother! Im happy because we both are loved and I can tell that our family is perfect since we all get along and are so happy!! I always wished I had a little sister but now I appreciate that I have a brother!

anyway
I’m an only child. I used to beg for a little sister and get really jealous of everyone who had siblings. But as I’ve grown up, I realized it’s the best! Everything to myself hehehe >:3
I'm the oldest child. I have a younger brother and a younger sister, and all three of us are around the same age. Honestly, people who are the only child in their family are lucky since having siblings can get very nerve-wracking. My brother and sister often bicker with each other and argue a lot, though they usually manage to get along quite well. In addition, both of my siblings give my mom a lot of stress, though my sister has at least learned to become more independent than my other sibling who relies too much on my parents to do everything for him. They can really become double trouble for my parents and I've become the golden child in my family. Like my mom appreciates a lot when I try to help her with chores, and she sometimes rewards me by buying things I want. Though all three of us are adults now, which is definitely a lot less of a hassle than handling obnoxious little kids.
Anyways, what I like about being the oldest child is that I don't have anyone to boss me around since I could never tolerate that. I suppose if there's a significant age gap between siblings, the youngest child can get taken care of by an older brother or sister, which is a lot better than having a sibling around your age who fights with you every once in a while. Though I'm glad that I'm the oldest child and generally speaking, I get along well with my family. Like I sometimes enjoy playing games and chatting with my younger siblings, even though I far prefer spending time with my cousins and other relatives.
