A lot of the time I feel like an only child. Let me give you some background knowledge first, I am not an only child, I am in fact a middle child. I have an older brother, and a younger sister, both of whom live with my father. And as I am the only one who lives with my mother, I feel like an only child. At times I greatly enjoy this, I don't have to fight with anyone over the tv (to play my xbox, of course), I can stay up late partying (and by partying, I mean having xbox parties), I always get the front seat, I can get whatever I want, within reason, my mom is a lot less willing to give into my than my stepdad though, whenever he's around (he works a long ways away from us) he's always trying to get me everything, and anything, for example when we went to visit him last summer, we stopped at payless to get my mom some sandles I believe because she only packed shoes, and it was very hot, I saw some heels and I tried them on, and I thought they were cute, so my stepdad said I could get them, but I said I didn't need them, I already have a ton of shoes, and he was all "ya, but yellow ones" (or something like that), and I was all "No?" and he would not give up on the shoes! So then I got them, even though I clearly did not need them. Not like I didn't like them, but still. My mom says he likes to spoil us, to give us all we want, because apparently as a child, his family didn't have a ton of money, and he's had to work since he was a kid (he's around 50 something now I believe), so since we have money, he didn't want us to not have things. Or something like that my mom said. Not that I'm hating! And actually, as spoild I make myelf sound, I'm not too bad. I don't go around demanding things, expecting to get them, then getting said things. I very rarely ask for things, more times then not it's all "Oh Megan, look BOGO at payless!" "But I don't really need new shoes." "Well let's just go look." Then somehow I end up with new shoes? I'm not entirely sure how it happens, but it's happend that way before. Or "Oooooooh! Perfumainia! Let's go see if there's aanything new" "Mom, we could literally drown in the amount of perfume we have now" "Oh hush, we're just looking" *Walks out of the store three unneeded perfume bottles later*. So I don't really think I'm the typical spoiled brat. I'm more like the "doesn't really need it, but parents get it for her anyways, despite her telling them she doesn't need it" brat. But I don't always get what I want, when I want. So I'm not too bad, at least I don't think so. And I'm a pretty good judge of that type of thing, also when I'm being unfair or mean, I can recognize that. Sometimes it takes me a while, but I realize what I've done, and if it wasn't nice, I'll apologize for it. I feel like there was a point to this, but I can't entirely remember it.
Although being a faux only child isn't all it's cracked up to be. I am quite lonely a lot. Because most of the time it's just me and my cat, and my mom's dogs (my mom works during the day, and I'm home then). I often find myself talking to my cat for some sort of companionship, And for the most part she's pretty good about not being a jerk or ignoring me. She'll sometimes meow back, it's cute. So I definitely miss having my siblings around. I don't know how only children do it, though I guess since they've not experienced (I'm only guessing here) what it is to have constant companionship, they don't know what they're missing. Also I have to do all of the chores by myself, at least when we lived together, I had two other people to help me clean. Now it's just me.
Well I guess I will end this journal now, and go try to play them sims medieval again. :) Goodbye all
PS. You should try the sims medieval if you haven't already. It takes a bit to get used to since it's not the same as the other sims, but once you get it, it's awesome!
