Not necessarily. They spend lot of time with their friends.

If you get them into the habit of reading books and maintaining friendships, they are unstoppable.

Parents who get bored with single kid mostly lack passion.

TLDR:

Benefits

Overall, only children were more ambitious. They even topped first borns on ambition. However, one study found this was only true for middle class families. Only children from upper and lower class families were not more ambitious. The authors suggested that middle class parents pushed their kids hardest to succeed. As adults, they tend to reach higher education levels and higher status in their occupations.

Only children benefit from higher intelligence. Multiple studies of both children and adults support this finding. Likewise, they score higher on IQ tests than first borns or children from small families.

Only children perform better on tests of personal adjustment. Personal adjustment is how well children are able to regulate their emotions. The idea is that these kids do not have to compete with siblings for their parent’s affection. This warmth creates more emotional stability for the child.

Children without siblings have more confidence. Perhaps all that time spent playing alone leads to a sense of personal ability. Or maybe these kids benefit from not comparing themselves to siblings.

Only children enjoy the same number of close friendships. Likewise, studies find they have the same level of social skills and ability to cooperate, and are no less extroverted.

As children and teenagers, only children may actually be happier without siblings. One large study found that having younger siblings reduced life satisfaction in kids and teens. Another found that teenagers with siblings were twice as likely to suffer from depression. Researchers attributed this to the fact that teens with siblings did not confide in parents as often.

In one study, 39% of teenage onlies reported an episode of alcohol intoxication, versus 69% of first borns. In another study, teens with siblings reported being bullied 50% more often at school than onlies.

The morale of elderly people who had frequent interaction with siblings did not differ from those who had no interaction with siblings at all. Previous research compared time spent with friends to time spent with family in old age. They found that only time with friends increases one’s life satisfaction.

As adults, studies find that adult only children enjoy the same happiness and life satisfaction as everyone else. They do not suffer from more depression, anxiety, or neurotic disorder than those with siblings.

Surprisingly, only children do not spend more time caring for aging parents. In a large study, they spent the same number of hours per week caring for sick parents as those with siblings. Similarly, they did not report more stress or burden resulting from their older parents.

Downsides:

Being an only child appears to increase one’s risk of obesity. This has been shown in numerous studies, from the US, Europe, Australia, Japan, China and Brazil. Time and again, the rate of obesity in childhood is found to be roughly 40% higher for onlies. By young adulthood, the risk is 76% higher for those without siblings.

Those without siblings may be slightly less popular in early childhood. Nevertheless, they enjoyed the same number of friends and the same level of friendship quality as other kids. Luckily, by adolescence, these kids catch up. In a large study of 13,500 kids at 10 high schools, teens were asked to name 10 friends. Only children were just as popular as other teens. Most kids spend eight hours a day at school and enjoy extracurricular activities and friendships. This may have a normalizing effect.

One Kid ayithe, managing easy, less responsibilities pencheppudu, but parents old ayyaka child will be alone with no immediate siblings in family. Whether one kid is boy or girl, if one is alone, in-laws adukuntaru at later stage once single kid's parents become old.

Two kids ayithe, more responsibilities for parents, but kids pedhayyaka parents tharuvatha vallaku okariki okaru thodu untaru

Simple anna, individual choice meeda depend ayuntadi.

nannu adigithe, 2 kids always better, oka kid ni chuskunnapudu inko kid ni penchalema? at least vallu okarki okaru thodu untaru pedhayyaka parents ku peace of mind.

 

In-laws adukuntaraa? Nope not the case for most of them, if that one son/daughter is strong enough to face hurdles in life, bochu bhi peekler evaru! Raise your child/children with strong mindsets and ready to face any challenges life throws at them!!
