Only child syndrome
Show your support
Do you connect with them? @Ashlin & do you talk to them now?
Not really no. I rarely ever do talk to my youngest brother of the 3. If I do, it’s usually because my dad is in bad shape. My mom died when I was 13
Awww sorry to hear. I don't talk to any of them unless related to health or gatherings (doesn't happen often)
I understand that for sure. That’s about the same here. I don’t even gather for family functions.
I'm a youngest & only girl & yes I relate to feeling like an only child. They never wanted to play with me growing up & hardly ever spoke to them. We're on friendly terms now as adults but we don't really know each other.
This 💯 how I feel. I think I'd be ok with my child being an only child but also a guilt of should she have siblings 🤔 @Susan lol
We don't have any family where we live. They are all in a different city.
I am an only child but hubby has three younger sisters which are family to me. Parents in their seventies and 41 about to have a 2yo babygirl. Am lonely a lot! Feel free to message me_!
I had an older step sister growing up that my dad took on before I was born. I spent more time w friends than I did her so you can imagine how painful it was 2 have 2 cut off long time toxic friends bc they feel like sisters 2 you..but yea that’s not an age thing, it’s a bad sibling typa thing bc how do you not wanna connect, bond or spend quality w someone who came from the same womb?
@Ashlin girl I’ve had 2 build my own tribe!! It’s awsome. Hand picked so more special.🥹🩷 That’s an upside.
I’m definitely fine w it. I don’t wanna bring another innocent bby into this messed up wrld.😭Some days I feel hella mom guilt abt my decision but other days I have a fear of creating a glass child.(tik tok can explain what that is if you don’t know.)I also don’t have enough emotional support. So that definitely sucks the beauty out of having another child. & realistically speaking, it’s expensive. I’m ready 2 go back 2 my passions. I’m just waiting till my little one starts school.🩵
Definitely not. I’m the youngest and only girl (three brothers as well) they are all very much older than me, youngest is 14 years apart. I have no idea what to even say to them.
