I'm an only child, which means I have no siblings. What about you?
oh interesting! Do you like it? I have a brother!
Not really, I wanted someone to play with growing up. Throughout history it was uncommon to be an only child.
I agree, it's important! I feel like in the past people focused more on having a bigger family with more siblings.
That's true. The proportion of families with only children in the U.S. increased during the Great Depression.
I see! That must have been the turning point in history! Also, I think different countries have more children.
China had a one-child policy from 1979 to 2015 that restricted urban couples to only have 1 child.
