The Need Of A Sibling

There is nothing in this world which can be compared to a sibling's love and affection for each other. Sisters and brothers are the first friend anyone makes. Siblings play, fight, hurt each other, but at the end of the day, love binds them again. Since childhood they not only share toys and clothes, but also quickly form a team for any mischievous activities. I have seen siblings sharing their victories and downfalls together. Such is the love, if one is sad the other cannot be happy even if you treat them with their favourite candy. I cannot imagine my life without my elder brother. He is my friend, my inspiration, a guide and above all he is like a parent to me. All the pranks that I play he becomes a part of it by default. Not only this, we even share the scoldings we receive.
I have seen my friends who are single child, feeling lonely and deserted. Earlier I was under an impression that they are blessed as they do not have to share parent's love with anyone; but as I grew up it dawned on me what they have probably missed, is the most important part of life - having a sibling. Parents might think twice about having another child because bringing up a child is expensive these days. Looking at only one aspect of it is wrong. From a child's perspective there are innumerable advantages of it. Siblings are playmates, teammates, rivals and above all inseparable from each other.
Children conflicts can be used as teaching lesson and a tool imbibing values in them. Without a sibling a child can never learn to share things. In many families where both parents are working the elder child is always seen taking care of the younger one. This not only makes them responsible, but also makes them confident about handling tough situations. The bond and love developed between them at an early age works as a foundation for a strong relationship in the future. A child learns various skills from his sibling and this learning is faster than what any school or parent can teach.
Staying away from my brother is out of question for me. The fun we are having since childhood can be replaced with any happiness. Though we fight a lot, still we are inseparable. My life would have been boring and dull if I was a single child.
