You’re an adult only child. Right?
Just a guess. If so, then I’m glad you found this site. I registered this domain as a place where we could share the challenges, privileges, and common experiences that adults without siblings often share.
About AdultOnlyChild.com:
The phrase “adult only child” sounds contradictory, like an oxymoron, I know. If you’re not sure what it means, then you’re probably not one. But for everyone else, here’s another way of putting it: “adults who were raised as an only child.” That’s who this site is devoted to. Right now this site just serves as an aggregator of all the material I can find online regarding adult only children. Feel free to add your own thoughts at the bottom of this page.
Current Only Child Tweets:
To the right I have added a feed of the most recent Twitter posts (“tweets”) from only children. If you use Twitter you can have your tweets appear on this site, too. It’e easy - just include the following combination of words in your tweet: (“I” and “only child”) -or- (“only child” and “parents”)
