[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I have an only and I’m in a couple only child Facebook groups and everyone is miserable. [/quote]

How sad for you and those families?  Maybe it is them and has nothing to do with an only.  We're doing great.[/quote]

I'm in those groups and it's a mix - some people saying their only is perfectly happy, some saying they're grateful they only have one to take care of/entertain/worry about, some saying their onelies are lonely and miserable. I'm noticing some that had onelines by choice that are saying they feel guilty because they didn't factor a pandemic into whether their only would have playmates without siblings. But everyone is overthinking everything right now, and that feels more like anxiety speaking than actually regretting life choices.

The kids will be fine. Everyone will get lonely, stir crazy, bored, etc. We'll make it through whether we remember it being lonely, a 24/7 fight to the death with siblings, or a pinterest perfect break from reality. [/quote]
