Being a Single Child

Being a single chid of the parents :
I have heard people often say " You are lucky , you are the only child of your parents".Is it so ?
The general understanding is the single child gets more attention from the parents and their entire earning is only for him/her. Moreover he gets undivided love and affection from them.Does this alone makes him lucky ?

There is an other side too :
Everything is fine until he is in home under the cover of parents who take every care for his welfare.But the problems start when he comes out to the society to face the world all alone.
He has never felt brotherhood and he has grown up alone ,without learning adjusting in small things to others and believes his thoughts are right always and whatever he desires has to be acquired.In times when things does not go his way ,he suffers from depression.Initially he suffers very much before coming in terms with the reality.

There is one more , too much of affection(anbu thollai) .Sometimes its becaue of being only child one is forced by affection to stay along with parents and loses all the chances of exploring this vast world and result : misses all the required exposure.

Moreover , if the previous generation is also single child ,he loses all important relatives.(Sometimes relatives do play important role ..)

Its not always lucky to be a single child , there is the other side of the coin too.

PS:This is not the case everywhere , there may be few exceptions.
