Birth order - Only child

(I had a hard time coming up with pros and cons)
Pros
1. All the attention
2. No favortitism
3. Only yourself to look after

Cons
1. Lonely - sometimes (rarely)
2. Parents are extremely over protective
3. Too much attention at times

Questions:

1. How would you be different if you had the same birth order but were a different sex?
Honestly, I don't know how I would be different. I mean personality wise I would be different because I probably would not be interested in the same things. (clothes - shopping, shoes, purses, etc...) I would hopefully be stronger and more athletic too. I don't think the birth order would really affect me, anymore than it does now, if I were a different sex.

2. How would you be different if you had a different ordinal position?
Well, I would probably be different because I would not receive as much attention as I do now. Which means I would probably either talk less often, be more reserved, and not share my opinions as often. My parents probably would not be as over protective because their focus would be split up amongst all the kids verses just me. It would be really different, I would be really different if my I was not an only child.

3. As a parent I would probably only want between 1 and 3 children; just because I come from a really small family. Also, this way I would allow myself to have more time for each of my children. (Time might be limited with work and other things.)
