I wanted an older sibling as a child and I remember trying to convince my parents they should have another baby. In my mind, if I just waited (my age +1) years, I'd then have an older sibling. It never ocurred to me that I would also age during that time...
I'm surprised an older sibling was something you wanted, usually you want to be the oldest.
In my case I just wanted a friend lmao
I was an only child and I just wanted someone cool to play with me who I could look up to. Also all my older cousins picked on me and I wanted defence lol
