i'm an only child. and i'm only the awesomest person ever.

being an only child has trained me to:
1. not care that michael vartan refuses to join twitter and follow me.
2. think it normal to buy expensive "collectible" dolls like the alias michael vaughn doll and play with it - out of the box.
3. never ever cry.

word.

Oh, Lord, I would be breaking the Super Nanny'...

Oh, Lord, I would be breaking the Super Nanny's rules, too, and I would have grabbed that thing and tossed it into the trash. I suppose that's what I learned from my dad, growing up with siblings... I turned out okay. ;-)

But the Toilet. What about that? Don't they argue over the bathroom. Perhaps you can tape off that section of the house too, just to be sure.

Well done.

Hmmm Interesting. I like it. So you basically live in an empty house with nothing but a bed and a dresser. That will work. Until you start craving that cheesecake or anything sweet any you forget and make a wonderful chocolate cake AND the arguing begins... Good luck with that.

Did you go to college and have roommates? Cause that might have helped the OCS alittle. Just wondering. Somehow after all these years you have seemed to manage though.:))

Yes Jennifer I don't blame you! It took marrying a "Middle Child" to reform me. ;)

Wow Kim, you hid your OCS well. I didn't know you were one. That's a compliment because I do think only children are brats - most of them, anyway. I steer my children (all 4 of them) away from being friends with only children because I can't provide them with the brand new toys their only child friends have... and because I expect them to get along with each other, take turns and share rooms! :)

We had a babysitter this summer for my two kids. I would trudge up the stairs, open the door to the apartment and immediately the babysitter would begin to tell me how horribly my children got along, how they fought constantly, how they would yell and scream, etc.

After a few days, it occurred to me why she couldn't handle it.

She was an only child.

I finally just had to say, dude, this is how siblings act. It's not good or fun to be around, but this is Life With Sisters. Or Brothers. Or Sister and/or Brothers. Etc.
