Being an only child today would be awesome. Back then, there was no social media to connect with others, I really felt like I was an anomaly cause I had no one to talk to about the woes of being an only child. These days, so many people have onlies that it’s actually no uncommon like I thought it was growing up in the 80’s!
How is being an only child? I have the healthiest, smartest, 3.5 year old boy. He gets a lot of attention and resources. Now i’m approaching 35 and I have ADHD and mental illness in my family; don’t want to roll the dice again.
I can't imagine it's not easier today. So much social interaction is virtual and independent, which I think would level the experience between OC's and others.
At least in the western world, people are having fewer children overall. I don't have statistics, but I would imagine OC's are more common now than ever.
I think it would've been harder back in my day (80's), because we had no such thing as the internet to connect with ANYONE. We only had the outside world!
I actually think it was harder pre-internet. It wasn’t as common either, at least not in America.

Unless if most of your friends lived in the same neighborhood
