Sasha Sloan’s Only Child (2020) is an attempt to simulate codependence, autophobia, regression, arrested development, and an inferiority complex and pass it all off as vulnerability and childlike wonder.

This girl is so demanding with her messages. 😬😰 I feel pressured to talk to her because she’s young and I think that she wants approval for whatever reason. I would feel guilty if I blocked her but I might do so. I worry that she’s lonely like I am so I don’t want to make it worse. Friendships with age gaps are difficult sometimes… but I struggle to make friends my own age as well. I feel sympathy for her because I didn’t have an older sibling at that age (or ever) to vent to or learn from. Now that I’m an adult™️ I actually want older sibling connections myself, someone to be around who aren’t my parents. Idk… feeling that only child loneliness deeply right now. People with no siblings need to be studied under a microscope. 😂

Having grown up an only child, I'm guessing this is how every sibling "STOP TOUCHING ME!" conflict goes. Here, reenacted by dogs...

I think however, as a recovering #onlychild I'm uniquely positioned to empathize with the #DoomPiles situation. Very much "DONT TOUCH MY STUFF". I'm not tidy, or clean, but I know where everything is AT ALL TIMES. And when something gets moved or goes missing I CANNOT REST until I find it. Toss the house like the DEA looking for drugs. Like The Accountant, there will be agitation and anxiety.

An only child asks her friends what's it like to have #siblings, so they show her.

Who can relate to this?

Off to the cricket tonight with my son. As a single mum, my son is my world and to be able to share things with him is magical. I don’t understand some of his interests, and he doesn’t understand some of mine, but sports is something we have in common, and have had since he was little. Now that he’s almost an adult, it’s even more special that we have at least this mutual interest.

We are #parents of an #OnlyChild and about 80% of the time we are in the #OneAndDone camp...
But when we're not I find it's usually because I am enjoying the current stage so much and feel like a.) I want to do it again and b.) I'm not ready to have my son grow out of that stage, which don't really feel like good reasons to make a whole human!

You always hear that parents who choose to have another child just "knew" that their family felt incomplete or someone was missing, but that doesn't make sense to me. I feel like I can "see" a future with just the one kid, and I can "see" a future with two and both possibilities have equal potential for joy, fulfillment, tragedy, loneliness, etc.

So.... If you are a parent who has multiple children, what motivated you to have more?

Why is grief from losing a parent SUCH a fucking rollercoaster. It’s been 2 years and it still hits me like a sledgehammer out of nowhere occasionally. It’s been haaaaaard today 😔
