WEEK 142 - Weekend-Engagement initiative ~ I Wished God Had Asked Me Before Now 😕🥴
Just you or more: Would you rather...
You can choose to be an only child or have several brothers and sisters, which do you choose and why? Answer in a post of at least 300 words.
There were times I did use to wish my mom would become pregnant and give birth to a girl child because what is all this oppression of me being just the only girl among two younger ones who most times make me sick with their bond and attitude?
And other times, when I look at other siblings' rivalry, especially between the female gender, I am always glad that my mom was not opportune to even smell a girl child even after the numerous children she gave birth to but did not survive to a tender age. I mean what is all this sibling rivalry and hatred between two sisters when there are supposed to be bonded?
I think God knew I wasn't cut out for stress from siblings, especially from my sisters if I was to have one that was why He decided not to give me a younger or senior sister. Maybe if he had taken time to ask me before now, he would have known I prefer to be an only child and not given me these nightmares of the brothers I currently have.
And some days because of the way my younger siblings (boys) behave I wished I was opportune to have a close interaction with God, I would have asked some questions, especially why He gave me the kind of siblings I currently have. I mean if He wanted to give me siblings, why give me siblings (boys) that stress the heck out of me? Maybe I would have preferred a girl sibling or managed her but the truth is if it was left for me to choose, I would have chosen to be an only child of my parents, especially an only child to my father. 🤣🤣
Selfish right, but who no like a better thing? The attention of my parents would have been on only me, they wouldn't need to worry about any other children because I was their only child and just maybe my mom would have taken her time to lavish me with so much love because mehn!
I mean these children make being a senior sister a hell for me, they pick my things without my consent and eat my food without thinking if I had eaten or won't be eating. They just feel because I am their senior sister, so I have got things going well or well sorted out for me.
They both gang up to molest me because I am the only person, so it's a big No, I will rather choose to be an only child than choose to have more sisters and brothers like the ones I currently have. Having them makes no difference to me because I practically do everything and they get to sit down and eat without stress, so I think I would be better all alone as an only child.
Don't get me wrong, I love my siblings but if it was in my power to choose, I would love to be an only child to my parents because why not. 🤷♀️🤦🏼♀️
They took that attention away from me when we were younger and now, they wouldn't just let me have my peace, please someone should tell me what wrong did I do to deserve these kinds of brothers. So, I would choose to be an only child because I deserve and want peace and my sanity in check.
There is a lesson everywhere. When you have siblings and you are even the oldest one, you learn parenting before even marrying. Tats the good side of it. It's better to share than have it all to yourself. One may never know what would have been your destiny if you were the only one.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend
Hmmm...Well, you did nothing wrong to deserve the kind of siblings you have.
Like you said this is just you, but as for me, I don't know about being an only child. Even with the siblings I have, I still feel it is not enough and wanted more.
I have a thing for having numerous siblings, more reasons why I wished to have plenty of children.
I have never liked being a lone wolf and I don't even get the feeling of being an only child, I don't need such attention, NO NO NO, not something I even imagine or would like.
I also feel that out of 100% of kids out there that are the only child of their parents, 80% longed for a sibling for different reasons best known to them.
Like you also have your reasons for wishing to have been the only child.
Smile.... Brothers can be so stubborn, especially when only you is the female child, but GOD knows why he gave you two brother's, maybe in the future you will see the reasons, my advice would be that, you change like male child sometimes too, so that to suit so well with them ☺️🥰😊💥
An interesting piece.
Haha, you are funny, It's just sisterly love, might seem annoying now, but you will be the one enjoying soon. Being last born is not easy I know.
I love the weekend contests. All the topics are very great and worth sharing. Thanks so much.
I am the eldest of 5 siblings and this position teaches you to value many things that you learn from being the eldest, and although sometimes I wanted more attention from my mother, I would not change the fact that I grew up surrounded by my brothers, each one with their own difference, but united by the love of our blood.
They came to give me a teaching which I value now in my adulthood. I know it's just an answer to a question, and that you deeply love your brothers. Blessings 🙏🏽🤗💖
Boys siblings with their own worry some. My dear @evergrace is everywhere they are too trouble some. The most worry some part of it is that some of them are lazy.
Lol I think at some point anyone with siblings would want to choose this if it ever becomes an option . Siblings can be terrorizing af🤦🏿♂️
-Hehe don't be jealous of your siblings, each of you has a different value. Just be good, and be loving and respectful to your parents. Do what is good without comparing yourself, for me, I will do what is good and make my parent or siblings happy. I will not get envious of others. Because sometimes our loved ones are it, parents or siblings, don't show their love but in their hearts, they love us so much. As for myself, I sometimes get mad and irritated with my son's behaviors but my love for him never changes. Have a blessed evening!🙏
So sorry to hear about those siblings that couldn’t make. Everything happens for a reason.
God knows best, is what I always tell myself.
My mum passed away with twins when she was to deliver them. And guess what happened after se passed, her sisters and most of her daughters are all having twins here and there. What a blessing!
In fact one of her sisters(my aunt) has triplets and one her daughters(my sister) also has triplets.
This is only a side of the abundant blessings we realized. But so many things happened out of this blessings that we didn’t even notice.
Point is, GOD always blesses us with more than we lose.
Wanting to be an only child I’m sure has crossed most siblings minds.
But I doubt that has happened in the case of your brothers cuz who wouldn’t want to have a big sister?!!
