Sorry mommy, I know you like to use the word indulged but maybe a little egotistical and a little spoiled! I recently sought help from an acquaintance. I became needy and ignored that person's needs. During our interactions, they stated, "Sorry, I haven't responded; it's been hand to mouth!" I didn't get what they meant. [...]
Losing a Parent as an Only
I miss you every day! I started this post back in August 2018. I don't think I was really ready to write it. I couldn't bear to describe the feelings that overtook me almost every day. I am not saying that children that lose parents, who have siblings, suffer any less... In all honesty, I [...]
Long Time No Write
A month ago I was at my cousin's youngest birthday party. My parents were in town. We were all there. Family. La Famiglia! I know I have touched upon this subject before, but this time it hit a nerve with my cousins. I said I have no one. When my parents are gone, I have [...]
Parents thoughts..
If my mom could have given me a sibling she would have... I don't want to preach or tell you anything... instead I want you to tell me what you think it is like to be an only child!!! It is time for the parents to sound off!
The Sun Rises and the Sun Sets with You!
This post will be brief. First and foremost, I am not sure how to not make it seem like they were wrong because they weren't. My parents only had one. They would had have three but that wasn't in God's plan for them. So their doting wasn't because they were indulgent but because they felt [...]
Me Time – missing post…
They say if you can be content when you are alone you are never truly alone. Thoughts? As an only child, you learn independence at an early age. Not because you are forced by your parents but merely for the reason, they cannot speak to you 24/7. So you learn to entertain yourself. You learn [...]
Fear of being alone!!!
Let's continue the theme. Yesterday I said I digress, but here is the truth. I am TERRIFIED! Terrified of being alone. Who do I have in my corner when things go tipsy turvy when my parents are gone. I have only me. Now before you blame them, they tried two more times. And my mom [...]
It’s been awhile!!!
I know, I know, I know, I have been a very bad only child and have not posted in a long time. Here is what happened. I met someone. Sorry, they became my focus. Finding a new job became another focus. Maintaining a client relationship became another focus. And then I lost my files on [...]
Mischief Maker!
I promised to tell you how only children can entertain ourselves and why there is a need so here we go. There was a dog and Pudgy was his name. I loved having company as a child, what child doesn't want a playmate. However, don't get me wrong there were times that I enjoyed being alone. [...]
Mischief… who me??? Never I am an only child and we are perfect!
Let me start by saying that as an only child we need active imaginations. We have no one to play with a lot of times. We have no siblings and the dog or cat can only take us so far I have so much to share on this topic it will make you laugh, sometimes [...]
