Perks Of Being The Only Child Left

Sisters are always a blessing whether they are annoying or sweet, photocopy of your mother or your friend, angry or lovely, they always and forever stand besides you. You feel like a heaven when they convince mother for your desires but the worst case scenario is their marriage !! Yeah.. this is a good umm very good function or news to celebrate but this new event just vanish everything.

Your life becomes a roller coaster when you are the one only child left in your house. The feeling itself, of living alone is disastrous. I tried to go with the flow and managed well enough during wedding and even after that. Two months have passed and I am living my share.

Life goes on and on and on.. whoever said this is perfectly correct. I have moved on because I know nothing can be undo now. It’s not a computer. It’s life.

Déjà vu: Know all about it

But there are several things, one undergoes while experiencing the “only child” atmosphere and nature. Let’s keep in mind that we are talking about the only child ‘left’ and not the only child.

Are you not asking yourself that what is the difference ?

Okay. So the only child left person comes out from the environment of noise, joy, sharing and partner time whereas the only child dealt with isolation from the birth. Sad.

Revolutionary Points –

• You have no one to talk and share your stories anymore.
• You have no one to share food or doing experiments with food anymore.
• Your partner in crime and commentary is busy taking care of her own family.
• Your sleeping partner is absent and you cuddle clock and anti-clockwise like a king.
• Your parent's main concern now is you and only you.
• Being the last child, you face the old age phase of your parents alone which is upsetting and disturbing.
• You don’t have anyone to laugh and cry with.
• You don’t have any partner with whom you can show anger on your mother to make her realize something.
• You start talking and living with an imaginary buddy, friend, bf/gf, husband/wife.
• While you are growing up, you don’t get ample of time to settle down rather responsibilities become a ‘must-must’ point.
• You become a mediator between your parents when they fight.
• When everybody around the corner starts bringing matrimony proposals for you without seeing the age.
• Sources of entertainment are not exactly entertaining.
• You start having the urge of a lot of personal space.
• Your tolerance for teasing becomes really very low.
• There comes certain holidays you just can’t celebrate.
• You feel alienated during huge gatherings too.

Most importantly when you meet her next, you don’t feel the same. Regardless of the time she spends with you, you will not feel the capability of sharing your deep and extra personal things with her anymore. You will let her take care of her new family, manage new relations and leaving us behind. This is tried and tested.

Well these are the one fourth of the things I shared and let me tell some happy moments too come when you get all the pampering alone, when she brings gifts for you, when she becomes extra caring for you, when everybody talks about you trying to become a responsible person. For Rest....Happy things are good when left unsaid. : D : D
