How about this coming from someone who is an only child (Though Soap Opera style technically not) who was raised half the time with her cousin’s being more or less as siblings (so for the most part I do know what it’s like to have them, only I got to escape from them) It is cruel and unusual punishment to be raised an only child, as well as selfish on the part of the parents (especially if they choose this) and it is even worse as an adult. My Mom literally tried to kill her sister when they were children, and yet now they are expecting(wanting) to be living together when they both retire 😯 Umm next door, not with me thank you!!! Especially if my grandmother is with them aswell 😯 😯 😯
