@hannynutcheerios: being an only child means you spend a lot of your life trying to recreate a sibling bond with cousins or friends but knowing it’ll never be the same #onlychild #nosiblings #friends #cousins #lonely
this is why as an only child I would never have just one child

Lots of siblings aren't close/don't talk. When you say 'a bond like siblings' you mean a very specific thing which is probably rare to have even between siblings.

Be best friends with other only children. I am also an only child, and two of my best friends are only children. They are my sisters from another mother!!

I had the opposite realization tbh. I always assumed that a sibling is like a built in human connection, but turns out a lot of people aren’t close to their siblings at all 😭

I grew up very close with my two cousins. We were the same age and I always saw them as my sisters because I don’t have any. One day one of them was sad and went outside, and the other followed to comfort her. I went after them too, but they told me I should leave because “you don’t have a sister, you wouldn’t understand.” I knew they were technically right, but to me they were the closest thing I had to sisters. I still remember how much that moment hurt.

people in the comments being like duh don’t see the perspective that you never had that emotional connection so you wouldn’t know what it felt like to begin with. you just had a favourite person.

I have a cousin who is an only child and my siblings and I made our mission to take her as an extra sibling because seeing her play alone or being alone during summers was so sad 😂

The argument "ppl aren't close to their siblings" isn't valid cause the point is that (often) the love and care is unconditional. Siblings will be there for each other, no matter what. If they hate each other or never talk, unlike friends and cousins who in some way or another have to build and maintain those relationships. That's the point!!

It’s the worst when your siblings are biological siblings and you’re foster siblings with them. They love you, but they’ll always choose each other over you.

Andrea :
Am I the only person who, as an only child, is 100% fine about it? I never wanted siblings and I never felt the need to find sibling connections. I never felt like I was missing something. I’m genuinely happy that I’m an only child.
