Due to fast and small family tradition of city, single kid lives with their parents and on special occasions only they have got chance to meet their cousins. So, they feel so much loneliness while living alone in their own home. If they have siblings, then they will not feel any kind of loneliness any time.

Due to less social exposure, single kid does not want to get involved in various social activities as naturally as siblings do.

Siblings have very strong emotional bond that help them to share all kind of personal or professional issues to each other. Lack of this emotional bonding makes single child lonelier in his or her personal life with self-centered attitude.

Sometimes single kid wants to spend time with his or her age people in home as he might become bored of constant parental involvement in each work. At this moment, siblings become best friends to share their emotions.

Without siblings, it becomes difficult for only child to make friends easily as they do not have quality of sharing.

As being a one child, parents try to fulfill almost all wishes of their kid and it makes their kid more stubborn and arrogant. If he or she has siblings, then kid can easily face situation that they can not get everything they want in life.

Sometimes, parents give too much of pressure on their kid to become first in every field, that might suppress the natural physical and mental health of their kid.

As per one research, having siblings give little more guarantee to not have divorce with your partner. Because having siblings, you have already mastered the skills of solving interpersonal matters and understanding the feelings of each other.
