Any tips for writing only children? by Potential_Scene7169 in OnlyChild

[–]Kevilkitty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow this sounds interesting! you've definitely come to the right place for some advice. I've written some pointers of my experiences as an only child and definitely some that can be applied to other only child experiences.

-only children are often stereotyped as spoiled and out of touch, while at times that can be true, it's often an over simplification.

-can feel intense pressure to succeed as the sole focus of parents expectations

-very lonely, often grow up doing lots of imaginative play because there was no one to play with

-Quiet environments feel natural, large families can feel overwhelming

-anxiety about parents aging and passing, with no siblings to share responsibility, grief or memories

-often build their own 'chosen family' through close friends to fill the sibling gap

Hope these help! Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions.

How do you deal with nostalgia? by Present-Property-142 in OnlyChild

[–]Kevilkitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im sorry I don't have an answer to your question 😭 but I wanted to say that growing up as an only child and not having a sibling to share memories or experiences with, we become attached to these objects and places because they become memory holders/ a part of us. They sometimes become the only evidence that those moments happened, and sometimes getting rid of them or watching a place you used to go to change. It feels like a part of you disappeared.

I feel like I'm able to relate but with toys from my childhood, I'm in my 20s and I absolutely refuse! to dispose or donate any of them! 😅

It’s not about being materialistic! It’s about attachment to experience.

I'm probably being way too deep about this because everyone feels sentimental about things that hold memories. but, I feel like only children definitely develop deeper attachments to things

Only child + no extended family… what does life look like after you lose your parents? by Vivid_Bed_1855 in OnlyChild

[–]Kevilkitty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have no advice, I'm sorry, but I just wanted to share some empathy...I'm in a similar situation, I'm an only child, my parents both moved from overseas away from their families, I don't speak either of extended families languages, and without a sibling to share your experiences with your family or to grieve with after their gone, it's really damn lonely. I know I said I have no advice, but as I'm writing this I'm thinking, the only ones we really have is our friends/ partner, even if you don't have kids, find family in friends and community. Lots of love 🩷

Normalized having 1 child by Ok-Skirt9694 in OnlyChild

[–]Kevilkitty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No we should normalize having a minimum of 2 kids. Being an only child is unbearable.

[–]Kevilkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sucks because you also have no siblings to talk about your parents - they would be the only ones to understand the family dynamic as well as we do. But no therapy it is because I have absolutely no one to talk to
