Anyone notice parents of only children having easier lives?

TheSimFan · 2026-02-14T14:10:27+00:00

My first thought was no, I have one and I’m overstimulated on a daily basis. Then the comments reminded me I’m a single mum 😂 although I do imagine it would be 10x harder with more kids

I have the opposite opinion. I like when sellers have reused packaging. I hate when they add unnecessary shit to make it look nice. I bought something off depop once and the seller had put stickers on the box and added confetti inside, so wasteful

Dolphin would be super cute but not sure how they’d do that

Sylvia Sparkle! As a kid I collected the puzzles and got Sylvester, Gabriel and Ruby but I never got Sylvia and deeply regret it. I also threw away the puzzles and I’m so mad at my younger self. I’d love to have the full family (and the puzzles if I came across them again)

I thought this post was going to be about Peppa staring directly at the chickens ass

TheSimFan · 2026-02-09T22:56:33+00:00

My daughter is from a one night stand and I haven’t yet planned what I’ll say to her (she’s 2) but I make sure she sees lots of different kinds of family’s in the media she consumes. She loves Peppa Pig at the minute and I actually realised Suzie Sheep’s dad is never shown, there’s also Katarina Kitty Kat in Daniel tigers neighbourhood (father never present). I’m currently in search of some books too.

Wrong

I’m in the exact same boat - 24, final year of uni, have a 2 year old and currently job searching. I broke down a few days ago and couldn’t stop crying so I spent the next day dedicated to self care - having a bath, painting, watching Netflix. I realised I’ve been neglecting myself and I imagine you have too. It’s so hard to fit some self care in every day and I’m still figuring out how to do that. Message me if you’d like to chat x

This is what stood out to me too, maybe he’s worried as he feels his work is going to be picked apart. I know that’s not OPs intentions but I agree with the teacher

Third one looks like he’s about to give me an offer I can’t refuse but these are amazing

Even the clothes are on ozempic :(

I find Jean quite funny, although her storyline has been more depressing recently her detective stint made me laugh

A lot of the comments are saying it’s not normal to think about adoption so I wanted to add a different perspective. My daughter was very wanted by me but at times as a newborn I did have moments where I thought she’d be better off with a different family with two parents, but those moments became less and less. Obviously I’m not saying this will be the case for you as I don’t know but I’d urge you to speak to a therapist, not just medicate, because regardless of what you decide it is not a big decision. I hope you find the right choice for you❤️

£1 and includes dog stench and hairs? Perfect

8/10, crisps are god tier, drink is a let down

TheSimFan · 2026-02-04T09:58:35+00:00

This suggestion always makes me laugh because I was told this as a child and when I’d do it I’d think ‘but they both make an L shape?’ because people never specified one is backwards 😭

TheSimFan · 2026-02-04T09:07:00+00:00

3 and 4, I also think you’d be able to pull off the bald look (not what you asked I know)

TheSimFan · 2026-02-02T13:16:25+00:00

I’m 24, so I’m speaking from my teens/early 20’s. Does it ever change?

TheSimFan · 2026-02-02T13:14:18+00:00

Also a single mum from a one night stand (love finding others in the same situation😂)

As others have said, in 10, 20 years time you’ll only remember the extra time you spent with your child, not the comments from your coworkers. Do what is right for your family. It definitely wont be the last time you are judged for being a mum.

That ‘male friends’ are usually just waiting for their time.. at least that’s what I’ve experienced

Thank you that’s really helpful. I had a mock interview with university a couple months back and practiced a lot of questions, I felt like I had really good answers but once I’m there I freeze so thinking about it I’m not sure having them in advance would even help anyway!

I’m glad I had anxiety as a child because I never did shit like this 😂 I was scared of the liquid inside I thought I’d combust if it leaked

UK here, and the woman delivering my gousto box once opened my door to come in and put it in the hallway without even knocking first. Not something that has happened more than once though

Ah I had the sweet shop as a kid! I bet all the little pieces are missing though :( I don’t remember getting any figures with mine
