Sometimes, Only
Sometimes, Only.
McKenzie Maxwell
Sometimes an only child isn’t alone. Often, the child is surrounded by loved ones, neighbors, nursery-mates, toys and imaginary company. I grew up as a lower middle class only child, in the 90s, without a computer or cable. My parents both worked full time jobs and I spent a lot of time being babysat. There are some benefits to such an upbringing: educationally and economically, for sure. As an adult, I admire my parent’s choice to have one child. It was economically responsible and absolutely the best things for my mother’s health.
