Sh!t That An Only Child Has To Deal With
Obviously being an only child has it's perks, like not having anyone to share your parents affection / money with. Which ultimately means one thing... More presents! But it also has it's down side, mainly having to come up with invisible friends for you to pass the time with and by time I mean most of your childhood... :(
Dealing with people who say: "But you don't seem like an only child"
What does that even mean?
Two-player video games are always a bit tricky
Teddy = Player Two.
People who accuse you of being a bit spoilt
Thing is, sometimes you ARE a little selfish
And you're very reluctant to share anything...
But then again can you name someone who isn't?
The way twins relate to The Parent Trap...
You relate to The Shining
You get VERY close with your BFF because they're like a sibling to you
In general, you tend to prefer the company of older people
Because kids be cray.
90s TV shows made you a bit sad. There were so many siblings!
Apart from Sabrina of course
Sabrina didn't even have parents!
One Christmas you even asked Santa for a little brother
Guess he got stuck in the chimney :(
You're not great at confrontation
You were never wrestled by an older brother, how do people even fight?
People LOVE asking you if you had imaginary friends as a kid
In fact you were friends with the friends of those imaginary friends.
You're still learning how 'housemates' work
The basics of cohabitation don't come naturally e.g. don’t eat their food, respect their privacy, clean up after yourself etc.
At times your parents were a little overbearing
Then again they were also quite naive: "Mum I'm the ONLY person in my year who hasn't seen The Blair Witch Project. Let me watch it!".
They had no other point of reference so you could get away with things easier.
