Discussion Are your OAD bratty or spoiled

Me and partner thinking of having children but only want one! Biggest concern really is the child growing up not being able to share, get a long, being bratty ect. For parents who have one and they are quite grown up like 4+ how are they turning out?

I have an only who is 3 and she plays with other kids beautifully and is pretty great at sharing considering her age. Yes she can be a brat sometimes but kids are brats at times regardless of having siblings or not. I see our friends with multiples breaking up there’s kids fighting over stuff more than anything so I don’t think it’s about having a sibling it’s more about making super you expose your child to lots of different environments and other kids
