While being an #onlychild has ... had (its less exciting as an adult).. its advantages, one of the challenges I particularly struggle with is when something goes missing I am quite... unhinged. Like "frantically tear the house apart looking for it, can't do anything else until I find it". 'Cause, it would only be where __I__ last put it.. right? Not so when you share a house with a partner and kids.

So now I can't find the mix paddle for the breadmaker and now everything is HORRIBLE.

Only child asks friends what it's like growing up with siblings. They showed her instead.

This girl is so demanding with her messages. 😬😰 I feel pressured to talk to her because she’s young and I think that she wants approval for whatever reason. I would feel guilty if I blocked her but I might do so. I worry that she’s lonely like I am so I don’t want to make it worse. Friendships with age gaps are difficult sometimes… but I struggle to make friends my own age as well. I feel sympathy for her because I didn’t have an older sibling at that age (or ever) to vent to or learn from. Now that I’m an adult™️ I actually want older sibling connections myself, someone to be around who aren’t my parents. Idk… feeling that only child loneliness deeply right now. People with no siblings need to be studied under a microscope. 😂
