I was only a child until 2001 when my sister was born, what about you?
I have one older brother and a younger sister.  Did you like being an only child?
I definitely got more attention but it was for sure more boring. Only children were much common in earlier history.
Why were they more common in earlier history?
Whoops I meant uncommon. They are more common now because of increasing costs of raising children and women having children later in life.
