Most only-kids would tell you there are some down-sides to being an only child. For example, a lack of companionship, bearing the burden of annoying parents alone, and having too much pressure from your parents.
But there are also plenty of upsides – such as never having to share, and getting all the attention for yourself.
Then there are those who express their experience in a unique way; with humour. And via Twitter, so the public can share in their hilarity.

I can often tell which ones of my daughters' friends are only children w/o any prior knowledge of their family.
