    I have 6 brothers myself but my partner is an only child. She feels the pressure as her parents age and need looking after and of course organising the inevitable funerals one day.
    One advantage I see in favour of only child family is that a large family tends to have complex politics. Allies versus nothing in common siblings take sides. Oh and gossip can be nauseating. I think my older brothers resented the fact they had more responsibility when we were growing up and the younger ones had little or none. (I was one of the younger ones)
    I think you only child people learn to grow-up/mature quicker than the rest of us. You forge your identity quite soon I imagine.

    I don’t really think I’m good at poetry.
    Just some childish nonsense stuff that has to rhyme.
    Poetry is not exactly going to make you famous or rich anyway.
    OOps negative mode again.
    thanks for your encouragement. todays quote in fact was “we have enough critics in the world. be an encourager.” which is what you are.

    public speaking is like that mandatory skill (for many career paths) that we have to learn whether we like it or not (in my opinion)
    some take to it like naturals, the rest of us have to work at it until we become much better than we thought we could ever become. Everyone has at least one winner speech and that is their life story. Because all of our lives are unique.
    We might lack good voice modulation or be too serious but if we speak about something we care about, it doesn’t really matter.

    Now I’ve confused the essence of this thread, haven’t I.

    look into it if you’re interested.
    How about Barbara?
    Veronica?
    Persephone?
    Sigmundina?
    Brangelina?

    So you made some big mistakes in life. You’ve got some huge regrets. So what. At least you were living your life, not watching others live.

    I’ll settle for a cult following. Like vintage wine, I am an acquired taste. 🙂

    boundaries. don’t let this affair linger. I’d be giving a clear warning to your boyfriend. Make up your mind. Me or her. and hurry up about it.
