I am an only child. How about you?
I am not an only child - I have an older sibling
Oh what's it like? Do you guys get along? I have more personal time to read and play games but sometimes it's lonely.
My relationship with my sister is so-so - we are not really close.  I much prefer having time to myself
I see, that is understandable. So would you rather be an only child?
I moved all the way to the other side of the country so it is good
Interesting. So do you guys keep in contact at all? I'm trying to keep in contact with friends to make up for some personal interactions.
It has been years since my childhood so i do not really care any more.  I still see my family at christmas every year
Okay, that is interesting. It is good you see your family! I get to see my cousins on holiday, so that's something.
Yes especially since birth rates have fallen sharply in the last century so people have fewer relatives
