Thank you for sharing your musings which I chanced upon a few months ago. I find it interesting that you leave us with the subject of Greed when the Hartmann Report today focuses on Greed of billionaires. More. More. I'n still not satisfied, but I am grateful that you took time to share your musings with us. Be well.
My mother died in December 2022. She lived in our home with me and my husband for 15 years, before he died, then another 16 months with me. She struggled with dementia the last few years, and though I wish I had someone to help, it was something of a blessing to be an only child. My mother had few resources and only the possessions here in the house, but I’m glad there was no one to, potentially, argue with me about getting this or that. I see these arguments among my friends and extended family who argue and carry grudges for years over, as you said, “Mom or Dad said I could have” fill in the blank.

I appreciate your kind words, Kay!

There are some "disadvantages" to being an only child. However! Sometimes there are advantages . . . Thanks for your comment, Sharon.
