No Siblings? All Grown Up? Welcome.

You’re an adult only child. Right?

Just a guess. If so, then I’m glad you found this site. I started this as a place where you can share the challenges, privileges, and common experiences that only adults without siblings have.

About AdultOnlyChild.com:

If the phrase “adult only child” sounds contradictory to you…if you’re not sure what it means, then you’re probably not one. But here’s another way of putting it: “adults who were raised as an only child.” This site is all about them. Right now  adultonlychild.com just serves as an aggregator of all the material I can find online regarding adult only children, so feel free to add your own thoughts or suggestions 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”)
