I am an only child, and people sometimes ask me if I wish I had siblings.
I had siblings.  How do you feel about being an only child?
I was fine with it. I had all of my parents' attention, and I had imaginary friends for siblings, and pets.
What was it like?
Sometimes lonely, but not often. How did you like having siblings?
It was fine.  I only grew up with a younger brother so things kind of evened out.  We had each other for company which was nice.
I can understand that. Did you ever wish you were an only child?
Sometimes but then again no.  It was nice having someone else around.  Do you wish you had siblings?
Sometimes. But I wasn't that unusual. In the middle of the last century, the birthrate had declined for all sorts of reasons.
Oh yeah.  Probably mostly financial reasons.  I think that I'll decide to only have one child as well.
