But very smart.

What percentage of America can be white? What percentage is acceptable to you?" I asked her tht

and she said 95 percent

Wooooo

I saw an anti-abortion advertisment where it showed a little girl all happy with a baby sibling, and then in another frame it showed her all sad alone. It was really interesting, I had never seen abortion argued against from the standpoint that it can cause someone to be an only child.

I mean, it's a pretty dumb argument, but it was really interesting

hello all

Sup bruh

can't go oustide ... again

4chan had this stuff a little while ago and they were pictures like "I love you little sister, and if you were here right now, I'd be hugging you and playing with you. I'm sorry you never had the choice to be alive."

Are you in SoCal?

no norcal

Kind of broke my heart and was great propaganda.

it's even worse here tbqh

I used to be in Santa Cruz, i know that feel bro

@Selma lol ya I remember those

I just think it's really interesting that the advertisement portrayed being an only child as the *worst* possible thing that can happen to a kid

very cool https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/11/world/europe/russia-white-sea-shoyna.html

I mean... I'm an only child and it's not *that* bad

If you had siblings, you might disagree. A blind from birth person can not say that life is bad without sight.

My siblings annoy the hell out of me but I can’t imagine life without them

Who else /middle child/

I don't think it's healthy for social skills to be an only child, but being an only child isn't torture like that advertisement made it sound like

The middle child in my family is a trap.

I'm the youngest, thank god.

Geez

@ThisIsChris that's hilarious

imagine your house just being full of sand one day

I’m the only one who didn’t finish college but I’m married with a kid so idgaf

Isn't that sad and not funny?

@Grossly Incandescent i'm the quintessential middle child

Oh do tell

my older sibling is off the rails liberal but was steered in by life somewhat

my younger sibling is very aloof and, well, spoiled for lack of a better word

and i'm just there, in the middle

@YourFundamentalTheorum ha that would be weird, but the article talks a bit that it happened over time. There used to be little farms there and for a few years they would just sweep the sand away so their crops could grow, but as you can see in the picture eventually the sand became too much.

I’m not too far off that with my family dynamics tbh

is that how all families function with 3 children?

I wonder if there's any good research on how having siblings affects your development

First child master race 😎

I found a bunch of articles saying that being an only child doesn't make a difference

really sounds like bullshit to me
